Special Announcement 17 Nov. 2011
After the (17 Nov) meeting concluded, we had a few volunteers offering to serve on the Activities Committee! A big cheer to Joyce G, Tressie S and Dorothy B, as well as Linda D (and yours truly, Jeanne L)! Thank you, thank you! (and to you too Jorge J).
Since we are off to a bit of a late start with this committee and the fact that there seem to be so many activities going on in December, don’t expect things to start rolling until perhaps mid- January. Don’t hold me to that though – that was just a brief discussion that went on and besides, I’m not the Chair person! More information on this will follow….eventually.
Have a great weekend and a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!!! See you all on Dec. 1st.

Betty also read a thank you letter from a member of the Air Force expressing how much the written letters to the troops means to them.

You may opt to write to an individual soldier or write in general and the letter will be distributed. No envelope or postage required.

8. Group Concerns: a.) Jim explained how the military personnel use shaving cream and Silly String in tactics – very interesting.
b.) Jeanne wanted to know if SCRCR still has the capacity for members who do not live in Continental Ranch, so that we may accommodate Mike R. to continue as a member if he so desires. Walt assured us that this is possible. We all want you to stay on, Mike!
c.) JoAnn brought up the issue of the memorial plaque for deceased SCRCR members because the current one is filling up, sadly. Everyone agreed that Charles Iverson’s name should be added. Walt will check into price and availability of another plaque to match the one we currently have.
