ANNOUNCEMENTS

Unfortunately our scribe had a problem with preparing the Flywheel notes last week. Therefore, we’re cutting back a bit for this issue. We are omitting the names of our guests, Recognitions, Happy Sad Dollars, and a detailed record of the Club Assembly.

• We discussed changing meeting times in order to better accommodate those members who have a limited lunch break from work. We confirmed a change presented last month: beginning February 2, we will begin our meetings promptly at 12:00 and conclude at 1:00 PM. This may entail cutting the time for Q&A after speakers’ presentations. However, most speakers are happy to stay afterwards for individual questions and conversation.
• The Annual Crab Feed is coming this Saturday, January 27. Please pay David Brown cash or credit card: $50 each. Act now to insure you get a seat. You can use the PayPal button on the right to order your tickets now.

CLUB ASSEMBLY

The main focus of our meeting was a presentation by Treasurer David Brown on our club’s income and expenses for fiscal year 2017-2018. Have a look (PDF).

We hope you will be impressed by the number of organizations and projects that were helped by your generous donations last year.
