December (Christmas ) Meeting

December has been filled with many activities for our club. Enjoy perusing through the activities we have been involved with this past month:
  • Stringing lights along State Street for the Festival of Lights.
  • Helping out with the Baby Cupboard located inside Stokes Market.
  • Sponsoring the Kid's Day Parade for the Festival of Lights.
  • Helping to coordinate with the Key Club "Letters to Santa."
  • Sponsoring a few families from the Angel Tree
  • Creating mitten packets to give to people in our community.

We have been very busy and immersing ourselves in SERVICE this Holiday Season.

Our meeting was well attended. We had a lovely meal with some nice entertainment provided by the Swainston family. Those in attendance wrapped the Angel Tree gifts and helped to create roughly 100 mitten packets to hand out to the community. Have a great Christmas, see you next year at our January meeting.

October and November Update

October was our month for instillation. Carolyn Rounds was inducted as our new president with Bret Jacobson as our president elect and Rob Tondini who is serving as secretary. This years board members include: Jamie Curtis, Molly Johnson, Elden Tolman, Nelade White, Allen White, and Lyle Fuller. The November meeting was held at Stokes Marketplace Deli Lounge with Preston's Special Olympic team presenting a short presentation about their team and the great success they are having. Our club was enlightened with a short film about the athletes and their accomplishments. A few of the athletes came and shared a little of their experiences as well. Thank you athletes for sharing with us! Additionally, each club member was assigned a group to work with within the club and these groups met briefly to discuss upcoming activities.
