Our Christmas Party will be held at our November 17th meeting. This will be catered. If you are planning on attending please call Susan Jaap (724-745-5873) or Laura Angelo (724-859-8206) so we can get an accurate head count. We will be having our Bingo games again. This seemed to be a fun time last year. If you have anything you would like to donate as prizes, please bring it. We will also be voting on the board members at this meeting. Warning some of the board members are getting tired of their positions. If you could help out in any position, let Laura know at the meeting.
If you have an item you think would be good to paint, but not sure you can, want, or did paint it, bring it to the meeting. You can sell it, offer it for free, or give it to Jeanne Delbusso for Ways and Means. She always needs more stuff for her raffles.
We have several backpacks ready to donate. We thought about Children's Hospital then an alternative choice that someone suggested that the Shelters could be a possibility for kids. More backpacks are available for that Service project. As for what we will be doing this year, the project is to paint a smaller tote bag and have items in it that could be given to the women and men shelters. One item presented by shelters was a need for socks. Also, there are memory boxes available to paint on. If you took home any Service project items for the last 4 years at prior meeting, try to remember to bring them back. Painted is preferred.
Rosemary is still asking everyone to save glass jars. Be sure to see the picture in the newsletter to see what we gave them in early December. Rosemary is still doing the Animal Friends project. Rosemary would appreciate that all labels and glue be removed, but it's okay if the label is still on. If you give us jars and you're not sure if it is usable, still bring it. If Rosemary decides it cannot be used, we will recycle it. Be sure to keep the lids on the jars to help keep the treats fresh. In addition, Rosemary and Animal Friends will accept any monetary donations, small blankets, and any animal food. A big thank you to all who have and will support the dogs, cats, rabbits, etc.
The Chapter Banner with that scene of Pittsburgh on it is still hiding somewhere. If you have it, please bring it to the meeting. If you know where it might be, let any Board member know. Hopefully, doesn't have it for some reason considering.
