Happy December!

Just a reminder that our first club meeting of the year will be December 15th! It will be at the extension office at 7pm! This meeting is taking the place of the Christmas Open house that we have had for the past couple of years. We will kick off the year by passing out some important information, going over dates and enrollment, and electing officers. The business part of the meeting will be short, followed by some fun Christmas mixers! WEAR YOUR FAVORITE UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATER! There will be prizes for the best one(s)! Also, feel free to bring your favorite Christmas treat to share at the end of the meeting. Hope to see you there! Stephanie Dunn p.s. Please pass this info on to any potential new club members!
