Announcements:
​

• If you have new Background check forms (old ones are expiring between now and December)—give to Al Weiland. New ones will be good for 2 years. This is for reassurance for members to work with youth. I have a few extra hard copies. We need all of these in by 11/20 .
   

• December Celebration Christmas party at noon on December 18—see signup. Please free up your work-time, get spouses/partners to join us; need a Santa, and sign up if you who want to exchange a fun $10 gift. Bring your Best Christmas story to share with table mates.
   

• We grossed $175 in our Magnificent, Magical Mustache Mini-Mini-Fundraiser last week. Please read Joanne's emails carefully—she knows she’s probably speaking to the choir, but she underlines, bolds and italicizes what you have to do—there’s usually a time limit—please meet it. Yesterday at 6:00 pm was the deadline to have your vote to her for where the $175 from our Mustache vote. Thank you to the 21 members who answered. She also encourages you to NOT hit REPLY ALL—no need giving everyone your answer—too much email. Even if you’re thanking one person or a committee—we all will trust you’ll do this well and we don’t have to know that it was done. And if the answer is short—as was the vote—just add it into the subject line—you can even erase or shorten the Subject and add your answer and write EOM at the end ("End of Message"). No need to open the email—you are using the subject line as a text message. 
  
  Funds were voted to Go to Rescue Tubes.
   

• BTW, 13 votes for Rescue Tubes and 7 voted for Polio Plus and 1 for foundation. So RT it is!
  (Watch emails for new Board decisions).
   

• Dave Ballaine underwent a successful a medical procedure on his heart on Nov. 12 and we all send him best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.
