- We are holding our first event planning meeting for our St. Patrick’s Day fundraiser on Friday, December 8th at the SLCC. Anyone is welcome to attend and to be part of the planning committee.
- Ed Grafton is putting together a progressive dinner in the Feb/Mar time frame. We have hosts for three of the seven portions of the event. If you are open to hosting 8-10 people for dinner, or to host all guests for the dessert portion of the evening, please see Ed about volunteering. Final date has yet to be established, but we’ll be selecting one next Friday at the board level.
- Which leads me to our last announcement of the day, that we’ll be holding our November board meeting next Friday (11/17 at 11am at the SLCC).

Jake MacKellar - Cram the Cruiser (11/11) was a food drive to benefit and help the People Center of Spring Lake stock the shelves in their food pantry for the upcoming Thanksgiving.
We were able to donate non-perishable food items, cleaning, and Hygiene products. We also raised $200 in cash that will be used by the People Center to buy more groceries for the food pantry.
