What's New This Week!

 

 

SPEAKER: Haiti Empowered (Jodi Ellingson)

TOPIC: Haiti Empowered Update

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
Wednesday Meeting Location Changes - American Legion Starting July 9, 2025
 
Email from President Ben (6/13)
 
After talking with the club for several weeks, evaluating survey results, and trying out a week at the Legion, the board yesterday voted to move our meeting locations to the American Legion, beginning Wednesday, July 9.
 
We will have one more week at Valleywood (June 18), the following week will be the President's Dinner, with no morning meeting, and we are not meeting due to the holiday on Wednesday, July 2.
 
As we've been discussing over the last few weeks, we are also planning to have 3 morning meetings per month with 1 meeting a month at alternative times/locations (for example, the last meeting in July will be centered around a Feed My Starving Children project in the evening).  This will also allow us to have a hot meal every week at the Legion, with no change to pricing to be in the club.
 
Thank you for your contributions to this change, and we look forward to seeing you on July 9 at the Legion!

Weekly RedApple Update
 
For the meeting of June 18, 2025 there are 47 cards and 2 Jokers. The pot stands at $35.00. Ticket donations are: $1 for 1 ticket; $2 for 3 tickets; $3 for 5 tickets; $5 for 10 tickets; and $10 for 25 tickets. Three lucky winners are chosen each week; the first two tickets drawn win $5, the third winner draws a card from the deck in hopes of pulling an Ace to win a share of the pot.  If a joker is pulled, it will cost the winner a $2 contribution to the pot.  If the Ace of Spades is pulled, the pot is awarded equally to all who have pulled an Ace from the current deck, and the drawing starts over again.
