Program

Holiday Potluck/Social Meeting

 

Meeting:

·        Bring plants for show and tell

·        Auction

Meeting:

The meeting this month is a social gathering, with finger food.  There is a requirement by the college not to serve meals – so we are required to make the potluck dishes of the finger food variety.  Please bring plates and silverware.  Beverages will be provided.  Those that can arrive as early as 1:00 pm are free to do so.

 

Dues:

It is that time again; dues for 2004 are now payable - $10 for a single member, $ 15 for a member and spouse.

 

Treasurer’s report:

Sixteen individuals or couples paid $185.00 in dues in November.  We collected refreshment donations of $9.75.  I paid Larry Galdes $85.00 for plants to be used as door prizes and Greg Filter $9.62 for postage.  We have $3007.27 in the checking account as of Nov.24, 2004.  The savings account is unchanged at $2166.52.  Please pay your dues this month if you have not already done so:  $10 per individual and $15 a couple.  Make checks out to Dunes-Kalamazoo Orchid Society and send them to me at 2503 Lomond Dr., Kalamazoo MI 49008.
