added this year. There is a page on the sidebar with 2015 retreat info and prices.
New Business: Helen suggested we donate to the
Millman Center for use of the beautiful facility we use with no charge. $300 for this
year was suggested and Helen also proposed we also include $300 for last year
too because we overlooked a donation. Floss S made a motion
we donate $600 to the Lower Township Millman Center, Gail B and Shirley H second the motion, and the motion was unanimously passed.
Meeting notes: We enjoyed a snowman themed meeting
with a demo on “Snowvester the Snowman” wall hanging by Geri P and lots
of snowpeople themed show n tell. Dues for 2015 was collected.
Next meetings

Bring a magazine for the 2015 challenge.
