PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
PRESIDENT Paulette Reid
“The most wonderful time of the year…” We’ve eagerly awaited the 2021 Christmas Auction and General Meeting and the wait is about to be over…Janice Pribble and her committee have been busy preparing the many items donated by our generous members as well as creating baskets filled with wonderful gifts! The Silent Auction starts at 9:00 a.m. so don’t miss out. There’s something for everyone—whether it’s a special gift for yourself or a surprise for a friend or family member! Our Audible Auction will be a lively and fun time with Councilman Jeff Copeland, Auctioneer Extraordinaire!
Thanks to Program Chair Reni Cook for acquiring Jeff. Our live auction items are sure to be a hit. We are excited to have Monty Brinkley from SGPHS providing musical entertainment! Our Bake Sale will have a delectable assortment of cakes, cookies, candy and quite possibly a pie or two to be handled by our Directors-at-Large. “Oh what fun..!” Jean Van Schaick and her committee have a delightful lunch planned for us. And Debbie Beaudin and her committee have plans for a beautifully decorated building. If you have not done so, PLEASE call and make your reservation (972-264-2320) for you and your guest(s). Remember that there is no charge for the luncheon for you and your guest but we need a firm headcount for meal planning purposes. During this season of giving, our members truly stepped up to the plate by donating around 20 bags of groceries which were given to United Charities to ensure families enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving. Want to give a special gift? Honor a loved one or remember a special person in your life by donating money to the Scholarship fund. There is a form included in the Newsletter! Please keep your thoughts and prayers for those that lost loved ones or friends this year as the holidays will be difficult for them. Blessings to you and your families! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year----may 2022 bring good health and happiness! Paulette
