SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Potluck & Garden Bucks Raffles (Members Only)
DESCRIPTION:Plans are still being finalized\, so check your November newsletter for the latest details. \nTo avoid the Thanksgiving holiday\, our November meeting is held on the 3rd Thursday of November\, one week earlier than our other monthly meetings.  \nThe November meeting is our annual business meeting. During the short business meeting\, there will be a brief State of the Club presentation\, the year-end Treasurer’s Report\, and the election for the Club’s 2026 Board of Directors.  \nWe will also have our annual Pot Luck dinner\, hosted by our Vice President\, Janet Frogner. Once again\, there will be a raffle for new and gently used items brought to the event by members\, similar to what we have done in the past. Raffle tickets will be purchased using the Garden Bucks (‘real fake money’) that you have been earning all year while attending and volunteering at club events.  \nPlease start calculating the number of Garden Bucks you have earned and fill out your tally sheet in advance. If you have any questions about Garden Bucks\, please ask at the Member Table. Do not wait until November\, as there is a lot going on\, and we expect many members to attend.
