Dan Fisher and Nate Robertson have turned in their resignations
effective immediately. Dan is moving to Connecticut and Nate
to Philadelphia. Both have accepted new positions. Only Joe Collie
will be left at the kiddy table now. We not only are losing two
good guys, but two board members, our 2nd VP, and Membership
Chair.
Farewell and adieu.

Paul Cotton reports that he and Warren Mitchell met this AM at
Warren's heated garage and cleaned/organized the trailer. Past
weekend at the Shriner's Auditorium went well, even though not
as good as prior year due to a different location. Phil B's team
of Larry & Rosemary Murphy and Chet & Gracie Cilley garnered
$1,975 for the first day. Don's team of Sue, Warren, Nancy Williams
took home $2,746 on Sunday, for a weekend total of $4,721. Thanks
to all for helping out. Total take to date is $12,582...about
half way to break even!! Next dates are Bayside Expo on Feb 1
and 2; Rockingham Park on Feb 8 and 9.

Guest Speaker
David Stamps, President of the Board of Directors, Lakes Region
Day Care Center (www.lrdaycare.org). A powerpoint presentation showed
some interesting graphs on the development of children. It was
noted that a child's brain develops 90% by age 4 but only 10%
of education funding goes towards this same age group. 90% of
funding is for higher education. Point being that we need to
focus more on early education for the greatest impact. LRDC provides
day care starting with children ages 8 weeks. There is also pre-school
and kindergarten programs, before and after school programs,
and summer programs. About 300 meals are also served daily. The
weekly cost is well over $200 per child but there is a sliding
scale payment arrangement based upon need. No one pays the full
cost, which is why fundraising is so important for the Center.
David will be contacting us later this year for our assistance
with their summer program. He thanked us for the good work we
do for the children of the Lakes Region.
