Next Meeting: December 9, 2024
Our meeting on 12-9-24 will be our annual Christmas Potluck Dinner and Awards Ceremony.. It is for members only, but visitors are free to join the club for 2025 at our regular membership fees and attend the festivities as noted below. The dinner will start at 6:00 p.m. Please come enjoy some wonderful food and spend time with some wonderful friends. As a reminder, the list below shows what dish to bring based on the first letter of your last name. The main dish will be provided by board members and a few volunteers. Refreshments will be provided. A – C Fruit Dishes D – G Desserts H – K Hot Sides - Starchy (Potatoes, Corn, Mac n Cheese, etc.) L – O Appetizers – Raw Veggies, Olives, Pickles, etc. P – S Hot Sides – Non-Starchy (Green Beans, Squash, Mushrooms, etc.) T – Z Rolls, Breads, Muffins We will be having the awards after the dinner and the gift exchange to follow. If you wish to participate, the gift should be between $10- and $20-dollars and gift wrapped, but not to excess, so that the unwrapping will go quickly. If you decide to bring a gift, you will receive a ticket at the door. When it is time for the gift exchange, the ticket numbers will be called out and you will go up to the gift exchange table to pick a gift. Each gift can only be stolen once. In regards to our attempting to log volunteer hours, the Board has decided not to continue with this endeavor. We have always had the Certified Rockhound Award and we will continue to present that award to a few people each year. This award certifies the Rockhound for their lifetime. A Hall of Fame if you will. A Certified Rockhound is a person or couple who give of their time or efforts over and above for the sake of the club. We feel this included volunteer hours and therefore the volunteer log is already being considered in the selection of the Certified Rockhound. The volunteer log was an experiment and we have decided not to participate with it anymore. We all volunteer when we can. Program list for 2025
