Building Update

Your continued efforts and donations of time and treasure to the building fund are truly starting to be seen throughout the club.  Both work days were very successful.  What has been accomplished to date?  The chalkboard paint is complete above the bar.  The center rooms have been vacuumed and de-cobwebbed.  The back meeting room is completely repainted.  The old stage has been torn out and the new stage has been installed. The new storage room will soon be underway. If anyone has access to ceiling tiles for less than .50 a square foot please let us know.   

With your continued support following the finishing of the inside paint job, we look forward to the replacement of the existing dance floor and carpet soon to follow.

LADIES AUXILIARY

Congratulations to our own Carole Browning, Redmond Auxiliary Past President AND District Deputy, who was awarded at the recent State fall conference.  Carole was recognized for her outstanding accomplishments in attendance, community service (Humane Society) and membership.  Way to go, Carole!  We’re very proud of you!

Our recent Fall Bazaar was a huge success, resulting in more than $700 that will benefit the American Diabetes Association and Pope’s Kids.  A big thanks to all who helped with the bazaar and to all who helped support it!

Too bad Joan Turshin and Cathy Dunn weren’t at the October meetings.  They could have won the membership jackpot.  Now it’s up to $90!  Members, be sure to attend Auxiliary meetings.  You might be a big winner, but you have to be present to win! 

ATTENTION EVERYONE – When you see flyers posted announcing Ladies Auxiliary activities, please don’t take them.  Please respect our efforts to publicize our events that are open to everyone.  If you have questions about our activities, please feel free to contact any Auxiliary member.  Thanks for your cooperation!
