December 2024 President’s Message
Hi Club Members, I hope you will join us for our annual Christmas Party and Pot Luck on Saturday, December 14, at the Clackamas Community Club. Details regarding times and what to bring are in another article in this newsletter.
You will also find a ballot for our 2025 club officers included in the newsletter. Please return it by Dec. 14 or vote in person at the Christmas Party. We still need someone to be the club Treasurer. Cynthia Nelson would like to step down, she but promises to train the new Treasurer. This is a great way to become active in the club. The Treasurer is also a member of the Board of Directors. Let me know if you are interested in serving in this way.
I want to welcome Lori Wilkinson as our newsletter Editor. Thank you, Lori, for helping us in this important role. Thank you, Beth Murphy, for having serviced so well as our past editor!
The CCC Board of Directors has accepted a new meeting schedule for 2025. We will still meet at the Clackamas Community Club. There will be a few less meetings and one more Bird Sale added to our schedule. The new schedule is in the newsletter and will be posted on our website. February 8 will be our first Bird Sale.
2025 Bird Bands are on sale. Contact Debbie Cordis-Weaver with your order. Information regarding bands is also in the newsletter.
I hope you and your family have a very good Holiday Season.
Dan Pitney
