We will have a musical program for our last meeting of the year. Troy and Joy Pulver will perform Christmas music on acoustic instruments. They played for us last December with The 37 Mile Band. Troy plays guitar and banjo, and Joy plays the hammered dulcimer. As always, please bring your spouse or another friend.

Also, please RSVP to Secretary-Treasurer Larry Cannon as soon as you can so we can let Spear’s Restaurant folks know how many tables to set up. Tell him if you are coming alone, 1, and if you are bringing your spouse or a friend, that will be 2. If you see a former Chapter 79 member invite him or her to join us again, and ask them to RSVP, too.

We are still taking nominations for all offices.You may make nominations for each office, but please be sure that the person(s) you nominate will serve if elected. You may nominate yourself (i.e., volunteer) for an office. We really need someone to be the vice president as that office has been vacant this year. We appreciate your help so we can vote at the December meeting and get a good start for 2019.
