Prior to the meeting Linda Waxler, our speaker from Warm Hearts - Warm Babies, set up a display providing some information about the effort. Here she is discussing some of the baby clothing and other items on display with Nancy Craig.

 
   
 

Ably handling the duties of Greeter for this meeting was Roger Christiansen.

 
 

There is always a lot of activity at the sign-in table as members arrive. Joe Tighe has his money ready to hand to Treasurer Laura Mattison for a chance at the 50-50 Pot.

 
 

Peggy McClellan and Betty Rodosevich enjoy a quiet moment while waiting for the meeting to begin.

Part of the really large turnout we had this month. It is wonderful to see how much our club has grown over the past couple years; thanks in large measure to the efforts of our President, Joetta Hoewisch.

 
 

Members of the "Back of the Wall Gang". Isn't that where the rowdies often sat in school? In this case, these are some of the nicest guys in our club, and we'd bet they were the same in school. Left to right are Joe Tighe, John Favinger, Cec Ray, Ken Nichols, and Randy Walters.

 

   
 

Treasurer Laura Mattison gives her report and explains how she and her husband, Freeland, have been handling the mailing of the newsletters.

 
   
 

The program on Warm Hearts - Warm Babies was presented by Linda Waxler.

 
   
 

Linda holds up some examples of the sort of clothing that is provided to the families of newborns by her organization. They seem to be playing a very large role in helping to meet some of the basic needs of premature and newborn infants for such a small organization.

 
 

Pat Romero and Freeland Mattison react as Freeland's name is called as one of the winners of the 50-50 Pot.

 
 

Roger Christiansen congratulates Bob Miranda who won was the other 50-50 Pot winner.

 
 

It's always great to see long-time members Velma and Ernie Rossmanith at our meetings. John Favinger is at the right.
