Hanging out at the Brunch


Treasurer’s Report:

Karen was unable to be at the brunch as she and family were moving the last of her mother’s belongings out of the condo, in time for the closing, a week later.  She reported that, for a small club, we were well off.  Details available from Karen upon request.


President’s Report:

Members encouraged to join the club on Facebook. Most are already there, & enjoying it.

The online Wrinkler and the RVW web page costs a total of $25 for the year.

Reminder of embroidered club gear—contact Suzy Zeh or 1 888 828-5445.

New Business

New donations were discussed and encouraged.

Raffle prizes: A set of magazine holders, hand-crafted for us by Daniela Karcz, using drawings by Susan Kamen Marsicano. See Page 17.

Two years ago, in honor of their 13th birthday, that day, of Laser and M, the group sang “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and most of the 11 basenjis present sang along. It remains a classic, & is featured on the BCOA home page. The video can be seen on YouTube.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned to the painting studio, to play with the Liner X Tutu puppies
