The November CCC meeting was called to order by our President Karen Gleisner. We began our evening by welcoming our visitors for the night.

Tonight we were informed that Kelly Kramer, one of our current members, had surgery. She is now undergoing 8 weeks of recovery. We all wish her a fast and full recovery. Kelly has also made return stickers for those in Secret
Scribe. They are available this evening for anybody in Secret Scribe.

We were reminded that our next gathering is in January, and will be our John Hancock Potluck. During this meeting we will also be making Valentines day cards. This year’s design will be small “mailboxes”. These will go to Children’s Hospital. Patterns are available at this meeting for members to begin making.

Karen Kartaly reminded us that we continue to do “Cards for the troops”. This is a service project that we participate in. People in our club make cards and bring them to the meeting so that they can be sent to the troops.

This year our Holiday Tree decorations will be used at the V.A. Hospital. The tree with our “stories and Songs of the
Season” booklet ornaments will be ready for their December 13th Christmas party.

During our meeting, the Spring Clinic was also brought to our attention. Yvonn Boyce announced that instructors for the spring clinic are asked to please bring in a summary and sample of what you are going to teach to the January John Hancock Potluck.

Marji Groth announced the “study group” will be hosted at Lois Hoover’s house in December. It will start at 6:30
p.m. Anyone is welcome to attend.

Phyllis Hubatch announced, that tonight was the deadline for the the Holiday Card Exchange.

Our President Karen, announced that it is time for the CCC secretary and treasurer to be replaced. In order for this, 3
volunteers from the board, and 3 volunteers from the general membership will nominate candidates. The board volunteers are Val S, Patty, and Judy S. The 2 (so far) general member volunteers are John, and Cheryl Wade. Thanks to those who volunteered!

The Refreshments for this evening were provided by Cheryl Watt, Janice Hafemeister, Monica & Theresa Krack, Melissa
Smith, Yvonn Boyce, Jill & Ben Sieren, Karen Kartaly, Les Butz, Diane Judd, Dee Huyvert. Also, thanks to Rita Graser

Also a reminder, that there is no meeting for December. Our next gathering is the John Hancock Potluck in January.
This months raffle winners were Nancy Singer, who won 2 brass stencils; Shirley Moser, who won a McGill snowman
punch; and Leanne Ross, who won a Fiskars jingle bell punch. Thanks to Artist and display for all the door prizes. Congratulations to our winners!

Our meeting then was called to a close, and our program began. Our speaker was Cream City Calligrapher’s own Jill
Quillian, who did a program on fun lettering and alphabets. Thank you Jill for a wonderful program.

Hope to see you at the January John Hancock Potluck. Have a wonderful Holiday season and remember your November
homework!
