Christmas List
...it's
the Most
Wonderful Time of the Year…
Brian
Winslow reminded
the club that Kathy
Calvin needs to be
advised...as soon as
possible... of the names
of kids that will be
attending the Kiwanis
Children's Christimas Party, which is scheduled for Monday, December
8th. Kathy needs to purchase gifts well in advance of the party. Please
return forms to Kathy as soon as possible. If you don't have a form,
please contact Kathy this week if you plan on having a child attend.
Please call (527-9182) or email Kathy
Calvin ASAP with the necessary information on the child you plan to bring.
Necessary information includes the following: Full
Name of the Child, Boy or Girl, Age
of Child, Hobbies or
areas of interest of the child.
Adult
Christmas
Party
The
Christmas Party for grownups
will be held at Pheasant
Ridge the following Monday,
December 15th. A fun night
of holiday cheer and a Yankee
Swap is planned. Gifts should
not exceed $10 as usual.
Please plan on attending
as this will be the last
meeting before 2009.
Where
we
eatin’?
The
club had a discussion about whether or not to eat at The Galley during the
months that Pheasant Ridge will be closed. As reported in last week’s
bulletin, the club would be charged $12.99 per meal. Right now, we pay $12
per meal. Roger Webster also mentioned Woodside at Taylor Community. He said
that he spoke with the folks there this afternoon and will be gathering more
information about that and hopes to have it for us next week. Brian Winslow
said that he talked with Contigiani’s and there is an existing contract
that included January and February at Joe Adrignola’s place at One
Mill Plaza. Brian’s thought was that we stick it out this winter and
revisit the idea of moving our winter meetings next year when we negotiate
our contract for next year.
