Today's meeting was Club Assembly.  Dave discussed items brought up at the board meeting:
  • Young Authors Program - Sue reported that the Friends of the Fox River Grove Library will be holding its "Young Authors Program" on February, 28.  They are looking for volunteers to act as judges for this year's event.  Jack, Alan, Phil and Steve volunteered to read essays and function as judges for this event.  We still need a volunteer to represent the club at the ceremony event.

  • Sue reported that the club has budgeted for 8 students to attend this year's RYLA event.  Jim Kelly currently has 4 names selected.  Because of the registration deadline, Sue will be delivering a check for those 4 to Jim.  He contact her if others wish to attend.
