A message from Mel
" The sale of the Entertainment Books has been one of our more consistent fundraisers over the years, raising as much as $3000. a few years back. The last few years we lost some members who were prolific sellers of these books and hopefully our new members will be able to pick up the slack. It's never too early to plan Holiday gifts fro friends, employees and others. The book cost $25.00 and can be billed to you. Please make this a successful fundraiser by doing your part. See Mel for Books."
As you can read we had a very busy meeting and that is why your attendance is important. Please make every effort to attend our weekly meetings!
