Fabulous Holiday Meeting

Great food, fun games, community service, fellowship, education - our December meeting had everything you could ask for. We raised $100 for Toys for Tots with our silent auction. In addition, we brought in a number of new toys and several members made individual direct contributions to the organization.

There was great fellowship and conversation throughout dinner, and a chance to sharpen your wits with a trivia game composed of questions that could be answered from our chapter website.
Although we had a last minute speaker cancellation, all was not lost as member Marie Herman stepped up to offer an impromptu computer class.

Everyone had a great time and we look forward to seeing you next year!!! Have a Happy and Safe Holiday Season!!!

December 10 Meeting - Very Special Event

We'll have two very special guests at our December 10 meeting. Lance Corporal Pope and Lance Corporal Pugal-Vidal of the United States Marines will be on hand to accept donations of toys for the Toys for Tots campaign. In addition, all attendees are requested to bring either toys or a donation for our silent auction, the proceeds of which will be donated to the Toys for Toys campaign. It's going to be a very special evening.

We are having Ingrid Markwork of Workplace Solutions - Employee Assistance Programs speak to us about Managing Emotions in the Workplace. This time of year seems to heighten everyone's emotions, both the good positive spirits as well as the sadness, depression and loneliness. Ingrid will provide us with some tools to help us manage the emotions we face in the workplace (and control our own!).

In addition, we'll have our usual fellowship and networking with our chapter members and naturally, we'll be offering a few door prizes. Don't forget to bring your Passports with you!
