President’s Message
 
Hi Everyone,
 
Hearing from Tom O’Toole from the Nevada County Law Enforcement and Fire Council was very informative including some evacuation readiness information.
 
This Tuesday’s luncheon will be one centered on service as we pack the dry foods for our Holiday Baskets for 30 food challenged children from our two local schools.  Thank all of you who helped to raise funds for purchasing the food and those who will help bag food at our 18 December 2018 luncheon.  After the luncheon, we will deliver the food to the two local schools, Williams Ranch and Ready Springs schools.
 
Wednesday, 19 December 2018 will be the day we deliver the Turkeys and other foods from Holiday Market to the schools for distribution to those food challenged families. 
 
If we do not see you on Tuesday, 18 December, have a great Holiday Season.  Drive safely if you are traveling and we look forward to seeing you at our next luncheon on 8 January 2019
 
President Mark
 
And a good time was had by all...
