From the Top of the Rock Pile …. by Kat Koch
At our October meeting, Angie 100% surprised me with a birthday cake. Thank you, Angie, and everyone that sang Happy Birthday to me. Our members are really awesome!
Our club elections are coming up at our holiday dinner in December. You will find a description of the positions that need to be filled elsewhere in this issue of The Tumbler. Club nominations are made at our November meeting, and voting is at our December meeting. Please seriously consider filling one of the positions.
This year we are doing our Holiday Potluck Dinner a little differently. The club provides turkey and ham. Angie is keeping a list of what people are bringing for the Potluck Dinner. We will have a better variety of dishes and not so many duplicates. You can talk to Angie at the November club meeting, call her, or text your name and what you are bringing. Angie’s cell number can be found on the contact page of The Tumbler.
There is an essential change in our club’s annual financial budget. The American Legion Hall has substantially raised our fees to use the facility. Our monthly meeting fee has been raised from $40 per month to $75, an increase of 87.5%. In addition, our room rental fee for our annual holiday party has gone from $120 to $300, an increase of 250%.
As long as we can hold club membership at 100 families or more, we should be able to cover these increases. Presently club membership stands at 110 families.
