ANNOUNCEMENTS

Last Saturday, we rang bells for the Salvation Army. Thank you Fred, Judy, Jim Cunningham, Alan Goodman, Jim Spangler, Chuck Osborn and Jim Cochran.  Also thanks to Alicia for organizing schedules and bringing hot chocolate to bellringers.

 

Thank you note was received from Maria Marroquin for our support of the Day Workers. John Rinaldi invited us to come to their annual holiday party on December 24 at the center at 748 Mercy Street, near Castro Street corner. An appeal was made for gifts for workers- Bicycle headlights and tail-lights, prepaid international phone cards, gift cards to Target or Safeway, warm socks and gloves.

 

In the absence of Fred Storek, Chuck explained that statements to members will include $200 dues for 6 months as well as charges for the Xmas party and basic rate of $5.00 for lunches so that payments at the door will now be only $10 for members.  Previously $6.00 was expected for missed meetings.

 

PRESENTATION TO NIKKI for all her smiles and good service plus a standing ovation from members.

 

Chuck announced that Bill Field had been moved from the nursing home to El Camino Hospital for treatment of infection.

Recollections of Christmas past by Jim Cochran who went sledging
