Join Us and Make a Difference!
Happy Friday everyone! We have a lot going on this time of year, but we hope you can join us Monday for next meeting. Jadiem Wilson, Principal at Ridgewood Elementary will be our guest speaker. He is not only Principal, but an author as well, so come out to learn more about his life, his book, and what's going on at Ridgewood!
We have a great lineup of meetings coming up, but please mark down November 30th on your calendars. This is the 5th Monday of the month, so there's no regular meeting, but we are once again having a social hour. Joan Kranovich has invited the club to the Visit Quad Cities Union Station for a 4 pm Happy Hour.
If you missed Monday's meeting, you missed a great program. Todd Linscott, Professor of Biology at Black Hawk College, and President of the Board at Hauberg Civic Center was our speaker. He gave a riveting history of the Hauberg home and grounds, and brought the club up to speed on everything that is going on to restore the grounds. This includes bring back the terraced gardens, rebuilding the greenhouse, and so much more. If you haven't been up there, please do so - they have the Carriage House open for drinks every Friday even!
