January 13th Club Update

Bingo Info:

Unfortunately, our Bingo Date has changed (the calendar has already been updated).  There was a scheduling mix-up at the VFW, so we are re-scheduled for March 20th, 2012.  Tickets have been updated and proofs have been approved.

January 17th - Service Event at Farrington Grove Elementary School

I have been in contact with Bill Smith - The principal at Farrington Grove Elementary School.  He is looking forward to seeing some of our group at the school to help with painting their gymnasium.  He has stated that there will be no "ladder work" necessary, and that it can probably be accomplished with a "smaller group" of 4-8 members.  I have told him that we would be there anywhere from 5-7pm.  He has invited us to "stick around and shoot some hoops" after if we'd like!

BUG Club Supplies

I'd like to thank Mak Khoie for his recent efforts with the BUG Club.  Mak spent last week calling every school to find out how many suppllies they will need for the rest of the year.  He then took a road trip to Indianapolis to pick up our supplies.  Schools will be needing those supplies within the next week.  Mak has also noted that we need a member to sponsor one of our schools:  Franklin Elementary.  Please contact Mak if you'd like to be involved in one of our club's most important programs.  I will be getting  in touch with Mary Jensen this weekend to complete our grant request to Walmart.

January 27th Meeting - Program and Board Meeting

I have contacted two other charitable organizations in the last week to see if our members could be of service to their organization.  I've received emails back from both!  Teri Evans from Freebirds would like to meet with our club so that we can learn about the Freebirds Organization and how we can help them through service.  I'm going to see if we can have a short presentation before the board meeting on the 27th.

February 7th - Social Event - Valentines Dinner

Bit O' Britain Tea Room is officially closed...

Mary Beth Jensen has volunteered to contact the Hilton Garden Inn to see if we can reserve a group dinner for our valentines there this year.  There was a small group of us that met at the Hilton before last year's Valentines Dinner and had a very nice time.  The atmosphere is nice and they have plenty of room - including in the parking lot (or garage).

I'll see you at Farrington Grove Tuesday, January 17th!!
