Auxiliary News:
Due to illness of some of our members and Officers, our regular membership meeting was cancelled on December 8th. The Officers did meet for an informal dinner and meeting (see picture) and transacted some year-end Auxiliary business. We held a regular meeting on December 22nd, when we enjoyed a “soup and sandwich” supper before discussing reports on fundraising events and finalizing payouts to several of our Charities. Thanks to all the Sisters who supplied and prepared the delicious food.
Marianna Woolard, Chairman of the Durante Chilldren’s Fund, Prevention of Child Abuse and Child Aids Awareness, reported on the recent Rada Cutlery Sales. The total proceeds were $800. The Fund will receive $500, Auxiliary President’s Project Alzheimer’s Association $150 and Fran’s State Project, Kenny’s Hope for Childhood Cancer will receive $150. Marianna thanks everyone who placed orders and those Sisters who helped in the distribution.
Madam President Debbie Powell helped organize a Ham Dinner to benefit her Project, Alzheimer’s Association, on Sunday, December 13th. It was a successful day and 153 meals were sold.

Buchanan, Deb Buchanan, Cathy McKenzie, Maryon Phillips and Marianna Woolard.
After a postponement of the drawing date, the following winners were randomly pulled by Aerie and Auxiliary members attending the Jackpot Saturday Night, December 19th: $200 MD Scratch Off Lottery for Kenny’s Hope – Charlie Spiker;
B & B Gift Cards for Alzheimer’s Association - $50 Jim Portmess; $50 Taylor Buchanan; $100 Marianna Woolard; $200 Rebecca Stewart. Madam President Debbie Powell thanks everyone who participated in these two projects that will benefit two very worthy charities. Because of all of you, we continue to be able to be an organization of “People Helping People.”
