We truly hit the ground running although many of us worked throughout the summer months. Scheduling a major fundraiser for October 5 th was daunting but Chairman Nitzi Barker has pulled it together with much assistance from her committee chairmen and general membership. The Opportunity Baskets are magnificent!!!! In order to maintain our Philanthropic Programs this year, we will have to schedule a variety of smaller fundraisers. For example, on December 13 th after a tiring day of shopping, drop by the Brick Deli and Market on Garey and Arrow Highway and pick up dinner. We will receive 20% of their receipts from 2-7 PM. They will also give us 10% of all orders placed and paid for you to have during the holidays. Other good ideas will result from the meeting scheduled on October 13 th that includes Strategic Planning, Finance and Resource Development Committee members. Speaking of philanthropies, our Dental Center opened for business on September 16 th with seven patients. On Wednesday, the 17 th, Operation School Bell completed the year s first delivery to grateful families. Books, Hygiene Kits and Community Closet items were icing on the cake. October 1 st begins our Second Annual Book Drive. We will gladly place collection boxes at any site you can suggest. Once again we will partner with Western University and add other college campuses to our effort. At the October 7 th regular business meeting, we will select from general membership representatives for the Nominating Committee. We will need three members and one alternate. At the October 16 th Board Meeting, we will select two members and one alternate. Committee work will begin in January. Also, on the 7 th, we will have a motion to charge $10 for meals at each regular meeting beginning in November. These funds, less and expenses, will be used to offset costs of the Annual Luncheon and the 2015 National Conference to be held in San Diego. See you on Sunday at the Tea..Sharon Page 1
