The first meeting of the New Year for the Club members was held on Thursday, September 1st in the back meeting room of the Community Center. With an impressive and lengthy agenda of matters to be resolved, the meeting began promptly.
Introduction of three new members was first and Annette Leach, Madeline Bourg and Diane Cooley were then made welcome by the attending members. Clara Marie Paulk was re-welcomed as a returning member following her retirement from her position with the Bank.
Our current officers of President, Janet Johnson; Vice President, Carol Fox; Secretary, Debbie Busby; Treasurer, Peggy Elliott; and Parliamentarian, Agnes Valigura were unanimously re-elected for another year. And many Committee Chairmen will also be returning thereby creating the continuity of projects started in previous years.
Lydia Strakos, Chairman of the biannual garage sales, announced that the Fall Sale would occur on Saturday, October 15th. The Sale will be held in the Pavilion at the Community Center with an opening time of 8:00 a.m. that morning. Arrangements for storage of usable items can be made by contacting either Lydia at 983-2341 (work), 983-2003 (home) or 920-5088 (cell) or Debbie Busby at 983-4101 (home) or 512 914-9521 (cell). Items being accepted are clothing for all ages, books and cds, kitchen ware, glasses and dishes, bedding, and some electronics. So as you decide to empty that closet of too much or rearrange cabinets with less, do put aside those items for the Sale.
The biannual Garage Sale and accompanying Bake Sale are one of our major money-making projects that are used to fund annual scholarships for our local high school graduates and donations to many causes. And members were warned to dig out their favorite cookbooks to find their special items for the Bake Sale, which is being held under the Chairmanship of Sally Ragusin.
