Sympathy Card sent to the family of Melissa B. (HLM). Melissa passed a couple of months ago. Melissa always supported our club through her continued membership and yearly raffle donations. She had not attended a meeting in several years, but would remember fondly of bringing her son to meetings in the fifties. Born on April 15, 1912, Paul once said to her, "You were born the day the Titanic sank!" and her response was, "No! The Titanic sank the day I was born!"

Congratulations TCC, membership is 159. A record this century!

Sheryl must receive information on Auction lots for the January 11, 2006 meeting by Friday, December 30.

Bring a friend to the meeting.
