The Music Committee opened the program by leading the club in singing Winter Wonderland, White Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, and Joy to the World. The banquet staff, which serves us so enthusiastically each Tuesday, was introduced and joined us in singing Feliz Navidad. MAURI WILLIAMSON spun tales from his childhood, talking about a simple time. We sang Hark the Herald Angels Sing and Oh Come All Ye Faithful before Dick Jaeger was introduced. Dick accompanied Lisa Loepker as she sang Home for Christmas and Share My Christmas Day. The program closed with everyone singing Silent Night and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Special thanks to JOHN BARRETT for organizing the program and to his helpers: HARLEY FREY, BOB VERPLANK, BOB GRIFFITHS, HARRIET COPPOC, ARVID OLSON, RAY PEETERS and CORKY MITCHELL. Merry Christmas, Everyone!!!

CLUB AND FOUNDATION BOARD REPORT:

* Last week the Club Board and the Club Foundation Board agreed to set up a special fund for International Projects. It will work just like the Projects Fund presently works. Members can contribute to it so that when the fund builds to a level where a District approved matching grant project becomes available, we will be able to participate.

* The Club Board accepted resignations from Barbara Doster and Phil Tucker.
