VICE PRESIDENT S MESSAGE From Darcie Didden, V.P. - Time is growing close for our 22nd Annual Show & Sale, December 1st. At BAXTER COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS Please consider supporting the Show & Sale if not as a vendor then consider one of the many duties, such as helping place our big signs around the Mountain Home area. You can help by setting up/breaking down tables at the fairgrounds, working the kitchen, the greeting table, doing a demo during the show (we usually have 4 or 5 demos), donating a turning for door prizes and I'm sure there are additional duties I haven't thought of. Everybody needs to participate in this venture for our club to survive. Your participation is needed and appreciated. CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON DECEMBER 15 The next Club Function in December after the SHOW and Sale will. be our annual Christmas Luncheon at the Lakeview City Hall on Saturday Dec. 15.
