MEMBERS CORNER

BITS-N-PIECES

Let’s talk up our club house for rent to your friends for their events. Remember it is only $60.00 per hour. We can hold up to 130 individuals when chairs and tables are used.

HOPELINK
At the January meeting I was asked to chair Hopelink again this year. I said yes because it's always a pleasure to be able to help people.

We just had Christmas, now it's Valentines Day already, a day of love and caring. In the spirit of love and caring, how about a little extra caring and sharing for the people who depend on Hopelink for their livelihood.

How about bringing canned food and fruit to the next meeting, or maybe a box of oatmeal that would make several breakfasts for a family, or even some detergent or bar soap because everything and everybody needs cleaning occasionally. I myself will bring some T.P. because everyone needs it (they don't make the Sears Roebuck catalog anymore). Sorry for the humor, you probably aren't as old as I or born on the farm "in the middle of nowhere". I will deliver anything you bring, food, paper products or money and all will be appreciated I know.

"Your link to Hopelink",
Bev Peterson

PS: Our Christmas delivery was great and all receipts were turned over to our President at the January meeting.

RESULTS OF THE JANUARY ATTENDANCE INCENTIVE DRAWING

The name drawn was Bobbie DeCoster and like Brynn the month before the prize was donated to help make HopeLink's cash fund grow. So for February the pot will stay the same and $5.00 will go to the lucky member if present to make the claim.

There were 17 club members, two grandkids of Ed and Kathi’s and Karen Spencer's guests Rick and Robin who attended the Annual Meeting of Kenmore Community Club.

The importance of club members and interested supporters of the community participating in club work parties cannot be stressed enough. Without the help more of this work will be farmed out which will raise the cost of our operations. Please remember this is your club house, you own it and it is up to you to help maintain it.
