The club inducted its newest member, Chris Sekula. Welcome, Chris!! Chris is a painting contractor and was sponsored by his friend, Louis DiPrima. Guy Kittelsen handled the induction ceremony and did a great job as always. We will schedule Chris to speak at an upcoming meeting so we can all hear more about him and his family. Great to have new, young members join our club! BJ Cunningham thanked all who contributed to the very successful Winter Party at the Legacy at Cranberry Landing last week. Next week's meeting will be the St. Patrick's Day Party at St. Ann's Home (1500 Portland). The Drumcliffe Irish Dancers will perform and ice cream will be served. Please be there by 6:45 to help set up. Terri Bastuk passed around tickets and raffle info for the upcoming Angels of Mercy Pasta Dinner, Sunday, April 7th at Eastridge from 1-5. See Terri or Jennie Gugino if you missed it. Bob Scheidt talked about our plan for a Camp Haccamo Playhouse project. From his email on this subject: Roll-up our sleeves and build a pre-fabricated playhouse for the campers to be located at the Sunshine Campus for Haccamo and other campers. The Product: Check this website: https://cedarshed.com/products/kids-clubhouses The Cost: $5k - $6k The Funding: Combination of club funding + district grant. Haccamo/Sunshine Position: Preliminary feedback is positive. Next step is to arrange an on-site visit to select possible locations. (I'll coordinate with Rocco, Dolly and others). When: Sometime before the Haccamo camping session this coming year Memorial: Idea is to dedicate the playhouse to Chris Franco for his year's of service to the Camp. "Chris' Club House" or something similar. Spring Clean-up at Camp Haccamo is scheduled for Saturday, April 27th at 9am. See Jason Miller if interested in helping out. The club is deeply saddened to hear about the passing of one of our longtime past members, Dom Fiore. Thoughts and prayers go out to Rosemary and her family. Members will be notified when more service details are available. |
