Jo Grubbe: We have $611 in the Salvation Army kettle. From Lance Lynch who generously pledged to
match donations up to $500... "The check is in the mail."
My suggestion is that for the
remainder of the year we contribute to the turkey fund, it needs contributions.
Roger Conrad: The Spiritual Aims Committee will meet next Tuesday,
Dec 15 at the Frandor Flapjack Restaurant at 7:30am.
I think everyone here has a copy of
the bell ringing schedule on Sat Dec 19.
The schedule is filled, thank your very much.
Nicholas Ferreri: We made the paper with an article and picture for the
Key Club Member of the Month Award. Joel Lubick and Jim McCartney told me they
got a lot of good feedback as a result of this. The next award will be next
Wednesday at 2:35pm at
Bob Nelson: We still need money for the Thanksgiving baskets. We are at around $650 and need another $650
to meet our goal of $1,300. These are
contributions to the Endowment Fund, so they are tax deductable.
Jim Dalton: Mark your calendars - our next Texas Hold 'em events
at Trippers.
June 28/29/30 and Oct 25/26/27.

Santa Claus memorial which I had at the convention about 10 years ago.

Eastern High School Key Club. Joe Lubick
does a wonderful job with that group. I
have another happy buck for my granddaughter Jennifer Scarborough, who on Nov 1
became the Confidential Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy. Later this month she will be in

Salvation Army is accepting credit cards this year. And oh, did you know, Tiger Woods is now know as Cheetah.

pastry at the Mayor's inauguration.
