August Meeting

This month's Scripture is Samuel 1:20-24.

Our August meeting was held on Aug. 6th at the home of Mary Lou McBroom. One topic of great discussion is raising our chapter dues. In an effort to keep adequate funds available, we need more participation in fundraising. Because we have now established the Lee Kavan Memorial Scholarship for the Cottey College Summer Programs, we must have funding of over $400 available each spring, in addition to funds for projects throughout each year. Because participation in fundraising seems to be low, we are asking for $25 in donation from those members who did not contribute items to the garage sale fundraiser in June.
On a postivie note, we have raised over $100 in loose change since May, and we raised over $175 thanks to Becky Niemeier and her Mary Kay fundraiser.
Our October meeting will be on WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7th, with no meeting on Thursday, October 8th. This is because we will have our state officer's visit. Officers will meet at 4pm, with the regular meeting to begin at 7pm. We will perform Initiation Exemplification, so officers ....get memorized!!!

A message from Breanna Engeman, the young lady we sponsored to go dance camp at Cottey College:
"I had a wonderful time and my parents were impressed with the showcase. I would love to come to one of your meetings. I will see if there is any way for me to make it. Please let me know where you meet and what day and time. Thank you so much; the program is amazing. The first couple of days were a little rough; I missed my sister and was out of my comfort zone but the activities were really fun and as I got to know people, I started having a great time. Just let me know what you would like for me to do and I will do my best."
