- There were 20 members in attendance on this cold day. We welcomed no guests other than our speaker.
- We were led in prayer and pledge by Judy Ackland
- Treasure Rita reported $3,449.01. Our semi-annual dues of approximately $1,335 will be paid in the next several days, however there are no other anticipated expenditures in the near future.
- Jim was noticeably absent (hope he is feeling better), but the Lunch Bunch meeting is on for next Wednesday at noon at Shevy’s (I recommend the Hartman Burger)
- The Club’s Post Christmas Party is scheduled for Sunday evening, January 21st at Farmer Brown’s in Waterloo. The social hour will begin at 5:30 with dinner to follow at 6:30. Dinner will be $25 per person. (I recommend the steak). If you are planning to attend, please bring payment to a meeting before the party. There will be a White Elephant gift exchange but please do not take this literally as my predecessor seems to have.
- Speaking of Ron, he nominated himself as the Club’s Administrative Assistant and ran unopposed. This will allow him to be privy to all of the necessary websites and communications to help keep the WDC Club running like a well-oiled machine. The club voted to approve his appointment and we are grateful for his dedication to the organization.
- President Mike shared more of his knowledge by letting us know that the first New Year’s Eve “ball drop” occurred in 1908.
- Neil introduced the morning’s speaker, Pat Hines who has been a leader of a Girl Scout Troop for many years.
Pat shared her recent experience of taking 6 scouts, ages 12-17, to Japan.They visited Omaha’s Japanese sister city, Shizouka, as well as Tokyo and Hiroshima.A few of the girl’s scaled Mt. Fuji but, according to Ms. Hines, do not necessarily recommend it.
The girls do recommend karaoke bars and participating in the “dress like a Geisha” rituals.(I recommend karaoke).They also enjoyed visiting a tea farm and learning about those harvesting methods.
During the Q & A, we learned that Girl Scouts are not going to plan to allow boys to join, unlike their BSA peers.We also learned that Girl Scout cookies will be going on sale in early February (I recommend the thin mints)
- Dave Rosacker had the winning ticket (claimed for him by Judy who is far too honest). But alas, the orange ball remained unscathed.
