October 2009



This month’s meeting will be October 21st in the Parish Center.

The summer was busy but Fall is starting to fill up with activities as well. First of all are our Officer and Board elections at the October meeting. We are looking for a Vice-President and two Board members to serve a two year term. The Club needs to fill these positions to keep operating, so volunteer if you can. We are also going to have a discussion about using some of the Club’s funds in an event during November with the High School. Stop in to hear all of the details.


UPCOMING DATES


October 21 - Meeting

October 25 – St. Vincent De Paul Free Store

November 8 – Turkey Bingo

November 15 – Friendship Sunday

December 5 – Christmas Party

The Booya is behind us and while we did not make as much as last year, we did make $250. We had anticipated an increase in turnout over last year and that did not happen. Next year we will adjust the amount we make to agree with the crowd size. The amount of members and ladies that turned out to help was overwhelming. My thanks to everyone who helped. This is a two day event and it takes a lot of workers to make to successful.

Other organizations within the Parish need some volunteer help and are asking the Men’s Club members to help where they can.
St.Vincent De Paul is having a free store on October 25th and needs 4-5 guys to help with set-up and unloading. The hours are from 10am-1pm but workers would start a little earlier. The Festival Committee is hosting a Turkey Bingo on Sunday November 8th and could use some help with sellers, callers, etc. If you would like to help, watch the bulletin for contact information.

The Club is hosting Friendship Sunday on November 15th so put that on your calendar. We can always use a few more volunteers help run things smoothly.

The Christmas Party will be Saturday, December 5th in the Parish Center. Watch for your invitations coming in the mail.
