Opening
Phuoc conducted an awesome God Bless America. Rev Bliss did a nice blessing and we were off. Tamara tended the fine box. No guests, but Chino Green was noted in the crowd. She brought wonderful photo books from Japan for us to ooh & aah over. John Piercy collected $ for our waiters.
Davis Interclub!
We're planning to interclub with Davis on January 13. 12:10 at the Symposium Restaurant. Possibly followed by a visit to the Kiwanis House in Sacramento, yet to be arranged. Let Bill Carpenter know if you can go. Frank has offered to take passengers in his van.
BHS Blood Drive Volunteers
The next blood drive at Berkeley High is on January 19 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sign up for a shift if you can. We help the first timers at the canteen feel comfortable. There was talk about "manning" the booth. Discussion ensued about membering the booth. Bob Barnwell wondered out loud why it's "A-men" and not "A-women".
Calendar items:
January 11, Save the Bay Program
January 13 Interclub in Davis
January 18, Program TBD
January 19, BHW Blood Drive
January 25, March of Dimes Program
March 29 update your roster. NOT annual meeting
Bylaws call for that between April 1 & May 15.
May 17, Scholarship Luncheon (tentative)
See's Fundraiser
Denise first made sure we were paying attention. Then she asked if we could do the See's through advance sign ups. There were a lot of "yea's", so that's what we'll do. Forms available at the meetings for deliver before Valentine's Day. Ask your friends, get the money and deliver in a month. Good planning, Denise! Besides, you won't have to lug twenty pounds of candy each week. Virginia entertained us with a long soliloquy about whether certain candy is better than another. Molasses chips, heart shaped boxes, her own recipes, on and on and on for the good of the cause.
