A NOTE FROM OUR QUEEN

10/19/16   Dinner Meeting


We are going to meet Wed night October 19th at 6:00 at Route 7 Diner in Latham.  We will have dinner and a meeting.

As you know October is our month for collecting dues.  Many have already sent checks.  Maybe we can wrap it up at the meeting.  I will have a report of where our bank balance is and how it got there.  We can also talk about some fun ideas of ways to use our dues.

We need to hear a report from Chucky on the bus trip to the wine country.  I am sure it was a fun trip and you have fun stories for us.

We also need to hear about Linda's daughter's wedding.  I know she used some of the gift cards from us to get herself ready! 

We also need to hear about Barb and Tina's recent Red Hat Trip!  Wait until you hear about the beautiful favors they received.  Barb and Tina are certainly our Traveling Chicks!!

Linda can also fill us in on her black hat event the end of November.

Maybe we can get more info on the Christmas party at Shirley's.

We have been invited to some events from other groups, both red and black and maybe we can hear from some who attended. 

We will have a 50/50.

We can also go over upcoming events.  Again, we are planning some things and we are invited to other groups events.

If there are other events or other business anyone would like to talk about bring along some info and we will discuss it.

I hope most of us can attend.  Let me know before the 15th so I can call her with a final number.

Hope to see you there!

Marty
