Announcements
Happy Friday everyone! Tis the season for joy, and so we hope you can join us Monday to get in the spirit of the season!
While our friend Andrzej Kozlowski had to cancel for our last meeting, the Rock Island High School Chamber Singers are confirmed and will be here on Monday! We want to have a good showing for both of these guests, so please bring a spouse, or guest or more than 1!
Speaking of spreading good cheer, one of our sponsored clubs at Washington Junior High is asking for our help! The Washington Builder’s Club is doing a “Giving Tree” to replenish the supplies for the school’s resource room, which helps students confidentially with personal needs: socks, underwear, hats, gloves, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. The club has already committed to a $100 donation to help support this great project, but if you would like to contribute also, we will accept donations to pass along, whether it's money or the actual clothing and supplies that they are requesting.
The intention is to give the donation next Friday at their Winning Warriors breakfast, where we will also be handing out some of the bicycles from our Bicycle Project. It should be a great day! Please consider a donation to help support these students.
