Christmas is coming, and the MGs are getting excited about it. This year we are actually having a business meeting in December. This is Walt's idea, and it is a good one. It should last long enough to install new officers (congratulations, Julie, our new vice president) and present re-cert cards to up-to-date members. This way, the new officers can officially prepare for the new year before the first late-month January meeting. Then we'll munch, giggle, tell funny drought stories, reflect on our mineral-laden water here in West Texas, and exchange gifts!

The meeting is on the first Tuesday in December (the 6th) at 6pm. It's the same venue as our spring plant sale, St. Paul Lutheran Church, 810 Scurry. It's a potluck dinner, and we'll have a gift exchange ($15 maximum). Be there!

Unapproved minutes of the November meeting are now posted, as are the amended October minutes.
