Our next meeting is our Founders Day complete with cake. It will be held January 19th. The food for our lunch will be furnished by Majorie Orlandini's daughter-in-law Katrina. If you are planning on attending, please contact Rosemary Habers (412-741-5158 or habersr1@aol.com) so we can get an accurate head count. As always snacks and desserts are also welcome. We will be having our Make-it/Take-its instead of painting the Service projects. A few of the teachers will have something to paint for a modest price. The doors should be open by 8:30 with painting starting at 9.
The Town and Country Retreat (classes May 1st thru 4th) booklet and registration form can be found on the Miscellaneous page.
If you have an item you think would be good to paint, but not sure you can, want, or did paint it, bring it to the meeting. You can sell it, offer it for free, or give it to Bill Habers (new Chairman) for Ways and Means. He always needs more stuff for the raffles.
The backpacks ready to be donated, were taken to Children's Hospital by Karen Pagasky. Some of the painted shelter tote bags were filled and delivered to the shelter by Karen. Jeanne Delbusso (new Chairman) will now be handling the Service projects and will have more tote bags for the shelter and some memory boxes to paint.
Be sure to see the picture in the newsletter to see what we gave them in early December. Rosemary is still doing the Animal Friends project. Rosemary is still asking everyone to save glass jars. Rosemary would appreciate that all labels and glue be removed, but it's okay if the label is still on. If you give us jars and you're not sure if it is usable, still bring it. If Rosemary decides it cannot be used, we will recycle it. Be sure to keep the lids on the jars to help keep the treats fresh. In addition, Rosemary and Animal Friends will accept any monetary donations, small blankets, and any animal food. A big thank you to all who have and will support the dogs, cats, rabbits, etc.
The Chapter Banner with that scene of Pittsburgh on it is still hiding somewhere. If you have it, please bring it to the meeting. If you know where it might be, let any Board member know. Hopefully, doesn't have it for some reason considering.
