Our November meeting was called to order by our President , Les Butz on Thursday the 9th. 
 
Les announced that each month we will be hearing from a different CCC Committee member.  This month we had Peggy Rymaszewski report to us on the Publicity Committee.  Peggy told us how she has the "easiest" committee job, and how she transforms the Board Meeting notes into another format so that she can send it to five different publications each month.  Thank you Peggy for sharing this with us.
 
Next on our agenda was the door prize event.  There were many gifts to give out tonight.  Donations came from Artist and Display, and from the Barb Kendall collection.  Those who won door prizes from Artist and Display included: Alyce Schwenn (set of self cling rubber stamps), Barb Aschenbrenner (metal stencil and embossing paste), and Theresa Krack (box of Strathmore greeting cards and a marker).  Those members who won a piece of the Barb Kendall collection included: Faith Miller, Valerie Burton, Linda Southern, Les Butz, Karen Gleisner, Nancy Singer, Coryce Haavik, Monica Krack, Yvonne Boyce, Peggy Buchholtz, Amy Kletzien, Phyllis Hubatch, Susan Baccus, and Theresa Krack.  Congratulations!
