First – just a reminder that our November meeting will be held on Friday, November 17 due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
At our October 2017 meeting, we nominated officers for the 2018 term. Elections will be held at the next meeting.
Also, at the next meeting, we will have our annual auction – so please dig into your stashes and pull out something to help the club!
