HOLIDAY RAFFLE: Roger Bowles added a holiday twist to the raffle at our last December meeting with his motion to draw tickets until someone drew the Ace to win the pot before we left for Christmas break. Three member's tickets were drawn but no Ace drawn from the deck of cards. The fourth ticket drawn belonged to Lori Taylor who is a zoom-only participant. Being the designated keeper of Lori's tickets, Diane drew the Ace in her absence and won $246 for Lori. There are now two Aces left in the deck and the pot will be worth half of the purchases at our next in-person meeting. Proceeds from the raffle are used to purchase groceries for needy families at Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. 
DECEMBER BIRTHDAY DRAWING WINNER: Rita Rowlen
Rita received a $25 gift certificate to Academy Sports.

BOOKSHELF DELIVERIES
It's time to deliver bookshelves and books to the first graders at Lawrence and Benton Elementary schools. The plan this year is to split up a list of club members to make the deliveries to each school. The deliveries, scheduled for January 19 during our regular club meeting time,  will be made outside and lunch will not be provided. 
The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do:
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and better FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
