Greetings William & Debbie,

We had our annual meeting on October 8th. The pot luck lunch was great as usual. The meeting was called to order by our president Bruce Kelley, minutes were read and approved.  Treasurer report was Checking $5,174.45, and Scholarship fund $ 6,124.19 for a total of $11,298.64. The sidewalk has been completed, and was thought to be a great addition. The overhead doors are still waiting to be installed; Bruce and Bill will try to get them in before winter. There was a long discussion on whether to change the date of the pig roast to September or leave it in June. The weather may be better in September, but some feel it is better to leave it as is. It was decided to mail out a ballot and get a feeling from the membership, so I will enclose a self addressed stamped envelope and ballot, so please fill it out and mail it to me so plans can be made. Sue is working on the Historical preservation application and would like to get info and pictures. If anyone has info or pictures, please send to me or her. ‘E-mail is good. It was decided to make the dues Payable, changed from October to January, so the 2018 dues will become due on Jan 1. There has been some confusion about the fiscal year (Nov 1, to Oct 31).

The community center is available for members in good standing to be used any time you wish for free, so if you have an event such as birthday, graduation, wedding etc, or just a family picnic, please call me and reserve the building and grounds. 
Remember, we have a face-book page, and a Blogspot, face-book is: https://www.facebook.com/WhitebirdCommunityCenter/ Blopgspot is: http://whitebirdcc.blogspot.com/.  Blogspot has a calendar just click on it to see if the Old School house is ok to reserve.  I am sad to report, that not much has been going on, but I really hope that you feel free to use the building and grounds as a member.
We are planning on having a New Years Eve party, starting about 8:pm. BYOB and a snack to share, maybe a game or something fun to share.
St. Paddy’s day is on a Saturday this year, so we will plan on having a corned beef and cabbage dinner on that Saturday. We will provide everything but the eaters, that will be up to you to take care of that problem. I will send a notice when that gets closer.
Treasurers, report: $5,174.45 in checking and $6,124.19 in the scholarship fund. Tax deductable donations are always appreciated.

Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! 

2017 dues are due and payable, please find the attached form below, correct if needed and return with your payment.

Sincerely,
William B. Calovis
