Meeting Notes for Dec. 16

We celebrated Christmas early this year. Today was "Bring a gift for Secret SantaDay." We had a big stack of gifts for the kids.

Business of the day:

We inducted a new member: Becky Armbruster, Assistant Manger at Wal-Mart, is now our newest member. Congrats. If you missed the meeting, be sure to welcome her when you see her.

Bob outlines our plans for completing our annual Christmas Food Basket service project. Members will pack boxes this week on Friday, November 19. Please plan to start work at the Methodist Activity Hall at 7:00 am. We will be there until we finish and we have about 225 baskets to pack. We need all hands to show up.

The baskets will be distributed Saturday, November 20, to those who have signed up for baskets. Bob would like a few of us to show up at 6:30. Distribution is scheduled to be from 7:00am-11:00am but it is likely someone will need to be at the Activity Hall until 12N.

The club members send thanks to all the schools in the Rolling Hills School District, the Mid-East Career and Technology Center--Buffalo Campus for their efforts to collect and donate canned goods to this project. We also thank T&J Market, Andrews Produce, the Byesville VFW, Cambridge Packaging, and the many local organizations and individuals that supported this project with their donations.
Dan Navicky reported that club members distributed dictionaries last week to 135 students at Brook Elementary, Byesville Elementary, and Secrest Elementary.
The meeting concluded with drawings for some Christmas gifts for the club members. Thanks to Nellie Bichard and Marty Patchen for organizing the gift giving and Christmas cards.
