December 2 meeting and Kristmas for Kids

Our meeting started with Dan welcoming all who came to meeting and thanking Jackie and Karla and crew for having us at" The Pine Tree" again this year for our Kristmas for Kids.

He then asked us to remove our covers and say the " Pledge" and have a moment of silence for our down and fallen brothers and sisters and those in harm's way.

Jerry did the treasury report and Kim did the legislative report and there were no products out at this meeting due to our fundraiser.
