There were 32 members in attendance today. Special occasions and many happy dollars were shared. Vern F. reported a can deposit of $30.75 and the club members donated $103 dollars to the food pantry. The collection will continue next week at the meeting also. Our Salvation Army Bell Ringing weekend is Dec. 13-14. We will provide staff at Ben Franklin and Fareway. We have 19 one hour slots during the weekend that need to be filled. Linda S. reported that the Aktion Club has a meeting on Monday and that they will be caroling and having a potluck on Dec. 16th. She also reminded club members to donate hats, mittens. and gloves as the tree is quite bare at the Courthouse. We are competing with the Rotary Club for the most items donated.

Sherry Palmer had the program today. She invited Dave Heupel, music educator for the last 15 years in the Jefferson-Scranton Schools to come talk about the choir program. Dave invited some of his students to join him and they sang the National Anthem for the club. Students who awoke early to visit and entertain us were: Annie Palmer, Jarrett Delp, David Petersen, and Kayleigh Harrah. The students spoke about their experiences with all-state and jazz choir. Dave reminded club members that the Dessert Concert is at the MS on December 16th. Thanks to Sherry, Dave, and students for a great program!
