Hi Board, I believe that one of the "action items" from the Board Meeting was the need for a new Hospitality Chair. Maybe we should post a big "THANK YOU" to Florian for his service, and see if we have any volunteers for the position? I believe that Christine said that Florian wanted to continue as Librarian? Meredith, I will be glad to pick up some Gift Certificates for FISHO prizes (and see if any member stores would like to donate a door prize for December). How many and what denomination? How many FISHO games do we usually play? If Phil can give me a list of what Sponsor Stores have donated, that is where I will pick up the certificates. I know that Denny's and APFP donated to the Big Auction last spring, I'm not sure about Conway, Midway, and Blue Sierra. Or, I can buy from all of our Sponsor Stores that offer our members a discount, but that is a long list. Not a lot of time, the December meeting is two weeks from this coming Tuesday!
