Dennis called the meeting to order. Maureen read the minutes of the November meeting, Jim gave his treasurer’s report. Discussion followed on the new flooring with the grants, donations, and our card parties we have raised enough money. Now to get someone to do the job. We discuss the schedule for card parties up until December 17th.
Ray Purdie made the motion to play cards after the monthly meeting, seconded by Claud McNichol. Ruth McNichol suggested that since we are not having a Christmas party this year, if every member would bring a non-perishable item for the food bank, she volunteered to deliver them to Watrous.
Monday morning cribbage matches were still a-go. Sorry, no coffee. Eight-member stayed after the meeting to play cards. During the meeting on December 3rd, we had 11 players for Wizard. The winners were Claud McNichol, Dave Smith and Dennis Simpson. Sympathy to Dallas and all the Felski family on the recent passing of Arnold Felski.
On December 8th, we have 12 players for 500. The winners were Judie Purdie, Jim Tait and Ross Reynolds.
We have been getting the same members for all the card games, which is great because everyone follows the safety rules. On December 10th, Whist winners were Irvin Kellum, Shirley Birtles and Hazel Eddie. December 15th, Wizard winners were Claud McNichols, Jim Tait and Dennis Simpson. On the 17th, we have 14 players for ‘500’. The winners were Dennis Simpsons, Shirley Birtles and Hazel Eddie.
On December 22nd, eight brave souls weather the storm to play Whist at the centre. Winners were Ray Purdie, Judie Purdie and Dennis Simpson.
Well, folks, that’s all the news for December. There will be nothing at the center till next year. I hope everyone has had a safe, Peaceful Christmas and all the best in the New Year. Bye for now.
