UPCOMING SPEAKERS

Diane Van Natta was the lucky one selected and drew the 4 of Clubs and won $2. The pot is up to $1,053 with only 12 cards left! Unfortunately, Tom’s prediction of a winner did not happen, but there is excitement for our next meeting on January 8th!

There were a few Old-Timers as well as some rookies. It was a fun time as usual. We served over 90 kids in the 3 nights! Thank you to everyone. We had a little fun on Wednesday with Mrs. Claus pretending to be Santa for one call, then Santa pretending to be Mrs. Claus.

No Meeting on Christmas Day or on New Year’s Day. Our next meeting will be on January 8.

There were funding requests from Badger Boys State and the Orion Group Home. The Board recommended and the club approved donating $80 to Badger Boys State. John Urness said we gave to Orion House already.

The Board decided to have a group review and propose a policy for adding links to our web site after a request by the Boy Scouts. It will go back to the Board in January.

We passed around a Get Well card for Kathy. She was scheduled for surgery today. Keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

The new board will meet on Thursday, January 14th at 7 AM at Badger Brothers.
