no worries I posted to the correct board.

Arrived as expected.

I'll have to check it out.

Thanks for posting !!!

Sure! Mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla, Rice Krispies, pecans, and coconut. Chill, form into balls, and chill again. Melt chocolate, coat balls, and let set in the fridge. Enjoy or freeze for later!

I just mailed two of the people their prizes and it cost on average $7 or more.

The card exchange has always been open to everyone. This year there were 22 participants and ten are not club members. I don't think anyone would pay $10 dues just to participate in the card exchange (they are not interested in the other club activities or they would already be members.) Many former members who did not renew said they were not renewing their KOC membership, which we require. A bylaw change was voted on several years ago and it was decided to keep the KOC requirement.

I prefer the Balsam Hill Vermont White Spruce with no lights. We put the lights on each year.

They are what is considered trimmers.... they have what I would call like a necklace loop for you to put an ornament hanger on if you wanted, most likely used as a package trimmer, you would run ribbon thru the loop and add it to a gift.[img]https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbi...81469614&idorvanity=1551409268470302[/img]

Wonderful.

Two smaller places that can really use the money.

The Seabird Sanctuary was hit very hard with the hurricane last year.
They are able to help rehabilitate and release back into the wild over 1,000 birds a year. They are home to over 80 permanently injured birds.

I think Vice President is Susan Holland, but I would vote for Samantha.

Somehow, the SUBMIT VOTE does not appear for President and Vice President. I have redone those in another post (it will not allow corrections to polls).

Please post any unfinished club business here.

Agree with you re. the convention & regional event exclusives

We put up an elaborate outdoor Christmas display every year. All of the lights, blow molds, and inflatables are controlled by computer. We custom make all kinds a displays with PVC pipe.

As far as lights, we switched entirely to LED's several years ago to save power (so we can put up more lights ). This year our outdoor display includes several thousand lights. We put up multiple Christmas trees inside and use a couple thousand lights on them.

We buy the cheapest light strings that we can find (Lowes, Home Depot , Walmart). This year we bought about 10 more 100 light strings for about $4.00 per set. We have some LED light strings that are 10 years old and still working fine.

If you like to match things to ornaments, check out the wrapping paper at your favorite store! This snowman appears on rolls that have snowmen like it on a red background. I looked for it on Hallmark.com and it's not available there now. I found it there last week. It is NOT the paper with the Snow Kids on it.

I work with Sean on Yulelog. If you haven't heard back from him, please feel free to check my profile for my EMail address and send me a message with your concerns. I'll do what I can to help! I usually hear back from him pretty quickly so if I need to help you get an answer I can, but sometimes I can help.

Well, dang, I missed the cutoff day. It’s been a very busy last couple of months! I hope everyone enjoys all of their cards this year and I will remember in time for next year. Thanks beaglebabes2 for putting this together every year!

We are already under winter storm warning for the next two days.

I also am full. It will be a one meal day.

Thank you Stephanie for your help in identifying more 2025 repaints!.
I knew I had to be missing some because we usually have more than what was on my tiny list.
