Boys and Girls Club

We had some wonderful guests at our meeting this week.  Bernadette Halliday and Shayla Brown from the Rotary Club of Burlington came to sell raffle tickets to raise money to send a group of High School students to Guatemala to build efficient stoves to help the people in a small village. You can find information on their web site. 

     Our program was Christine Valdez and David Conover from the Boys and Girls Club.  David is the new regional director and they gave a lively program on the needs of the Boys and Girls Club.  They need volunteers as well as financial support.

     Please go to the District web site to see all of the District events coming up this spring.

     Linda Ryan is getting us organized for Smelt Derby. Please contact her if you can help out by visiting other clubs to sell tickets.

     This Wednesday, February 15th at McIntyre Hall, there will be a reception to honor Dr. Gary Tollefson. It begins at 4:30.

     I am very pleased to announce two new members that have been approved by our board last night.  They are Ron Wigal and Marge Milnor.  According to our by-laws our members have 7 days to submit in writing any concerns about these prospective members.  If we do not hear from anyone, we will vote at our next meeting.

    On Monday, February 27th we will have a "Winter Celebration Party".  It will be a pot luck celebration at the Garden Club instead of our regular meeting at the Farmhouse.  You will receive an email from Cindy with more information.

Have a great week!
