Announcements 4/1/2015

Lucy gave us an Auction Update: There are some left over items that she is trying to get to their proper destinations. We had plenty of food, and all Auction Volunteers were well fed. She thanked everyone for their hard work.

Big Applause.

Announcements:

Charitable Giving Committee: Jim McAllister announced a Charitable Committee meeting right after the meeting.

President Ken made an appeal that if we know of somebody who is in need of assistance; it is our common duty to be ambassadors of the Charitable Giving process and try to assist others who could benefit from the Charitable Giving Process. For example, he noted that we still have funds for oil that are available.

Scholarships: Alan Nelson announced that scholarship applications are in, and if you know of a student, who would benefit from a scholarship, please contact Alan. The deadline is April 30^th. The student will need to have financial aid forms filled out. Alan is looking for people who would like to serve on the committee. We give $21,000.00 in scholarships every year.

The 50/50 winnings went to Jackson Brown. The winning ticket was drawn by his guest. Hmmmmmm.  Congratulations Jackson.

Bingo: Bingo is coming Saturday, May 16^th. Joe M. and Earl G. will be our now veteran callers. The reporting should stop here as the conversation went sideways a bit.  The always organized Julie Villemaire still needs 5 volunteers. It’s a fun event. Bingo isn’t just for old people any more. We should all try to make it to this event.

Elaine Palmitessa is getting ready for the Essay Contest in 2 weeks. We will have the readings at the Run of the Mill.
