Announcements & Club Business: Monica reminded us of the combined Holiday Party and holiday gift wrapping party at 5 p.m. on December 20 at the Kirkland Women’s Club. Food and drink will be provided. Cost is $50 per person, and members should sign up on the Club’s website. For the holiday gift shopping, people will be assigned 1-2 families to shop for – gift lists will be provided. Also, we could use more money, so make a donation and designate it for “Holiday Gift”.
The next board of directors meeting will be December 2, so as not to interfere with Thanksgiving and so our esteemed president can go play golf in the sun somewhere. We will continue our in-person Club meetings at the Marriott. |
