Weekly Bulletin – 1/17/19

Jan. 10 program:
Hip Hip Horray! It’s that time of year!!! The Kickoff to the 2019 Report to the Community is officially underway!
Jim Streit was the brains behind the “one and only annual BIG fundraiser” for our club. We saw other clubs selling raffle tickets, Christmas trees, fruit baskets, pizza kits, etc. and declaired we would not do that. As publisher of the Newark Post, Jim got us started on a journey that is now in its 20th year. The first year we raised about $5,000. Last year we raised $57,000. And who knows what we can do this year. Under Cindi’s guidance, let the sales begin!!!
