February Board Meeting Highlights

●  No action was taken at the board meeting due to lack of quorum

·  Discussed a number of items including our commitment to the Eliminate Project

● At a special meeting held following the regular Feb. 21 meeting our club voted to become a “model club” in the Eliminate Project fundraising campaign.

Pancake and Sausage Breakfast

Advertising is underway.  Tickets have been distributed to members.  The sign-up sheet for workers has made the rounds.  The breakfast is a major source of funds for our club to use for community projects.  Contact your friends, relative, and neighbors.  Make sure they have tickets.  Pre-sold tickets ensure the club of income and serve to remind those who have them of the day and time of the breakfast.

A 50-50 raffle will be held for the Scholarship Fund.

Division 2 News

At the February 14 Division 2 meeting, our own Linda Steinbrunner was elected to the position of Division 2 Lt. Gov.-Elect.  Congratulations to Linda!  She will succeed current Division 2 Lt. Gov. George Doyle on October 1.
