Thank you to our speaker, Maura, from HCS Services.
Announcements:
Phil H shared that 40 members had paid their dues. $3400 was donated towards Foundation and another $5,000 donated to the club's activities.
Susan N shared that the sneaker project was sadly getting postponed again. Discussion followed with a variety of ideas about how we could still give back to children in a safe and impactful way. The Sneaker Committee will be meeting to discuss further.
Foundation:
Chuck's oldest daughter who works as an interpreter for the deaf in St Augustine had a birthday and Chuck was donating in her honor. He shared that they grow up so fast.
Ted added that Matthew is now 6'6" and wearing a 28 waist and 38 leg - try finding those pants!!
Allen shared that he and Ellen's Dad got their first round of the vaccine - Yay!
Kerry enjoyed working at the Community Kitchen and thanked Dick for the baseball hat he gave to her.
Patty and Sean were going skiing in the frigid temps. Susan N shared that she skied in Alaska when it was 10 below! No such thing as bad weather - just not the right clothes.
Marion shared that her brother and sister who are 2 years apart share the same birthday and they always resented that. However, now not seeing each other for so long with the pandemic, her sister wish she could have spent the day with her brother.
Alan shared that Melissa and Kerry were going to be volunteering in the frigid temps at Krif Road vaccine site.
Ted wanted to point out that we have Alan Rumrill as our speaker next who will be talking about the Spanish Flu. Should be very interesting!
Dani asked me to share this with the group and she will explain it in more detail on Thursday if you haven't already heard about it:
Monadnock Restaurant Project: We are all about our local community and what better way to show our support than being involved in the Monadnock Restaurant Project. This is an effort launched by three local partners: The Local Crowd Monadnock, Culinary Journeys and Food Connects. The idea sprung from Luca Paris of Luca’s Mediterranean Café where he firsthand has been experiencing the challenges of owning a restaurant during this pandemic, especially during these colder months. He wanted to find a way to help support the local restaurant owners in our area and this is how the Monadnock Restaurant Project developed. The group initially invested $10,000 and purchased dozens of gift certificates from 28 local eateries in Keene.
