After the Pledge, the Prayer and the Promise...Skip Doyle shared a heartfelt,
“seasonal “   reading prior to introducing our guest grant recipients. Whew,
that is good coverage in brief, eh?   5 in one sentence..  All right !!!

Cyndy Morin and Lois Kirk are co-executive Directors of NEDP,  Northboro
Extended Day Program for Family & Youth Services, INC.   Since 1987 NEDP,
including FUNCARE;, the separate kindergarten component;,  have made possible
after school programs in the four elementary schools in Northboro.  The programs
serve 220 children every school day.  Most recently, in answer to expressed needs in
the community, there are before school programs in two of the schools. 

Thanks to Skip’s follow-through and Rotary’s Simplified Grant program, NEDP
is receiving  $2000 from our District.   The co-Directors were most grateful for
the program and said that this allows new cabinets and fun parachutes  which otherwise would have perhaps lessened potential scholarship monies for some children. Is to feel good.

Barbara King expressed thanks for the sponsorship of seven Haitian students.
GOL,  Gift of Life.  You have received email info regarding request for homes.
GSE,  Group Study Exchange.   Looking for hosts to welcome Turkish participants.
If you are planning ahead...there is the PR dinner Feb 19...up-dates will ensue.
Not too many card left to ruffle for the raffle !  Shhh.

Birthdays:   Have to wait a little longer to sing  HB to the Chief.

MEMBERSHIP:  Hey !  Note this !  January 23rd.   White Cliffs   Think about someone to invite.  No,  not your mother-in-law...a possible, potential, participant.
Segue to Addison Redfield who expressed his concern about the forthcoming weeks
of no luncheon meetings...ie:  the 25th and the 1st.   For his protection he brought
Ginny...always welcome...in support of his concerns of a decline of attendance.
A lively discussion followed and will continue, I am sure.  Did I hear, “cantankerous”?
Is that even how one spells it ?     Oh well !

BOARD MEETING:   Voted on new slate of officers for our club for the following year.
President:    Adam Winter
Vice President:   Steven Georgeson
Secretary:   George Pember
Treasurer:   Jean Bianchi
and Cheryl Owoc

Am anxious to see  who comes to lunch Tuesday as I heard that the brisket servied at the holiday party at the Winter’s was “to die for “  !!!
