CLUB'S PURPOSE
The purpose of this association is to promote, or assist in promoting, social or civic enterprise of our locality; and to encourage and foster a home trade movement; to strengthen the business and social relations of the membership; and to promote the growth and development of our community.
Kenmore Community Club building is for rent, and you the club members are the sales people who need to be talking to your friends and relatives, letting them know we have a facility available for their next party or event. We can accommodate 128 persons with tables and chairs set up. We have kitchen facilities. In nice weather there is the fenced yard. Remember, the rent pays the way, so let’s get out there and talk up some rentals.
KCC ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARTY
Wednesday, December 10, 2008, You are cordially invited to arrive around 6:30 P.M. to help set up for the potluck and a little social conversation.
The Christmas party will feature some finger foods from Trader Joe's and potluck dishes of finger foods supplied by club members.
We will have our gift exchange with the following rules:
1. Members will draw numbers to set gift selection order.
2. Number 1 will start by selecting a gift and opening it. As there is no one to trade with, number 1 will have the opportunity to trade after last gift is opened.
3. Number 2 will now select a gift and open same or pick a gift from those already opened. If a gift is taken from another, that person will select another gift and open it or pick a gift from someone other than the person who just traded with them.
4. A gift may only be traded 2 times and then becomes non-tradeable.
5. It is suggested that gifts be new and have a value of at least $10.00. A gift received by you that may not fit into your life style can be donated to HopeLink.
KEEPING THINGS GOING WITH HOPELINK!
Marty and Pat will be taking all our food, gifts and money in after our Christmas party. Our raffles have brought in about $200 so far! We plan a December Party raffle. Please call me if you have a goody we can raffle. Money donations are also welcome!! This will be our final collection of Hopelink items this year!!!
Thank you for all your kindness.

Merry Christmas to all as we enter into this, the last month of 2008, seems like I just paid my 2008 dues and here it is time to pay 2009. I hope this finds all well and healthy as we enter into the last mouth of the year.
Thanksgiving has passed and I trust it found you and yours thankful for all you may be blessed with and any misfortune or sorrow of the past year is on its way to rejuvenation. As we enter into this joyous time of the year, I know for some there is lingering sorrow. Hopefully with family and friends support you will weather the sadness that the misfortune brought and find the happiness of the season.
Congratulations to the newly elected board members and thank you the voting members for your support in the election process. For those who were not at the November meeting your new board members are:
Re-elected President L.G. "Bud" Eaton, Vice President Marty Askelson, Trustee Don Ivanhoe and newly elected Treasurer Sheri Baker and Trustee Kathi Straw.
They will officially assume their responsibilities as of January 1st 2009. We all look forward to operating your club in an efficient and professional manner.
You most likely noted that we did not elect a new secretary for 2009, we did not have anyone step up to the plate and volunteer their time. I encourage you to get involved. As I work on this article for the newsletter we do not have a candidate for Secretary. The importance of having recorded minutes is that they create a written record of our organization's operation to fulfill requirements of both state and federal government in preserving our non-profit status. Additionally they record the history of our members, our operation and our organization's culture for future members and the general public. (An example of the records importance would be to a genealogist searching for any snippet of information regarding a family tie to the club. Through our minutes, sign-in-book, photographs or newspaper articles that we have on file, the information would be of great value). You may be thinking "I can't do that" but with other members help it is not an enormous job, but one of immense importance.
I want to again give Roland Lindstrom, Karen Spencer and Bev Peterson a thank you for serving as nominations committee for the 2009 Executive Board election.
A reminder for everyone to think about your club dues, as of January 1st, 2009 they are due. The price is still only ten ($10) dollars per member. As outlined in the November newsletter let's set a goal to pay all Dues on or before the first potluck of the New Year.
