Meeting to be:
2/11/2017
Dale and his wife were to be our hosts but he emailed that they had decided to go on vacation instead. At this time, no notice has been received as to who is taking their place, what demos to expect or what tasks have been accomplished. It appears that no demos are scheduled and no publicity distributed. Should you have something to share, please feel free to show and tell; should you know of someone who could benefit from attending, invite them.
We were informed at the January meeting that we have no more money, so the consensus of those present decided that we would have potluck refreshments (food and drink) at future meetings through May. Please remember to bring something to share, or simply enjoy the tranquility of abstinence.
Winter weather has contributed to a decline in attendance, as usual. Though in 'lazy' faire volunteer organizations with no programs for club publicity or membership solicitation, that trend will probably continue. Ruby's father passed away recently and even though he wasn't an attendee, Jim and Ruby will miss our February meeting as well due to family obligations. We pray for them as they experience this time of grief.
There is good news. Preparations for the nominations of officers has begun. Last week, a positive solicited response was received regarding an interesting presenter for the April or May meeting. Details and the specific date are being arranged. With no money in the treasury, we won't have to worry about how to spend any. With no new members, we won't have to ask a newbe to help out, we can just rely on our good old standbys — minus one.
Happy Valentine's Day. See you on Saturday.
