https://www.facebook.com/quiltingeagles/ --- FROM OUR PRESIDENT--Susan Santoro “I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual." -Henry David Thoreau As we approach Thanksgiving and the holiday season, I journal a list of blessings/gratitudes. It may be just one word every day. It helps me to focus on positivity and hopefulness. I am thankful for the hard working, dedicated and creative LCRTA board. I am thankful for the members who support this valuable association. Now an update on luncheon realities. Some of our regular venues are charging HIGH room rental fees, even if we have a member sponsor. We would need to add that cost to luncheon prices; therefore, we are returning to a couple of venues twice each year. As I addressed in a recent Slate message, food costs and other costs are increasing everywhere so our luncheon costs will be more. We do not make money on our luncheons, but we try to break even. I hope Toledo Country Club (note location change) on Wednesday, December 4th will be filled with smiling faces dressed in holiday attire. As is our tradition we will not have a speaker but delightful entertainment and time to enjoy each other’s company and a delicious meal. |
