Flags For Heroes – It bears repeating! 

What a display of our appreciation for our HEROES! More than 500 flags billowed by “by the breath of our veterans” over the Newark Reservoir Park. The ceremony on Saturday was moving and a statement of our appreciation to all those who were represented. A special thank you to Jason Lawhorn for handling all logistics,  Polly Sierer for securing the sponsors, Turf Pro for drilling the holes and installing the holders, the members who sponsored flags to honor their heroes, and the members who physically helped install the flags.

Holiday Reception – Dec. 2 Let’s PARTY!!!

… and kick off the holiday season with thinking of others. The club’s annual Holiday Reception will be evening of Dec. 2, 6-8 p.m. with family members and friends invited. Heavy hors d’oeuvres will be served; cash bar will be available. Your “ticket” to the reception will be a new, unwrapped toy for a child. We will then donate the gifts to Toys For Tots for distribution. (The box for collection will also be available at the Nov. 18 and Dec. 9 meetings in case you cannot attend the reception.)

Also, this year we will have a fun Pollyana Gift Exchange. If you want to participate, bring a wrapped gift, approximately $10 value that can be exchanged with other members who participate. You never know what you will go home with – but sure to have lots of fun getting it!

Board Meeting This Week – 8:15, following regular meeting. Minutes and Financials to be sent out to Board members on Wednesday. Everyone is welcome to attend the Board meetings. You will get makeup credit for attendance. If you want to know what’s going on, be there.
Reminder: Invoice payments due upon receipt!
