I hope everyone has had a good beginning of school this New Year. If how your New Year's Eve goes, so goes the New Year. I know 5 women who will have a fine 2011. We had a wonderful evening of seeing in the New Year.



Gamma Tau had 11 members and 1 friend to spend an enjoyable day at the BRO on November 29th. Your donations and our time helped to allow over 300 families to have Christmas gifts that would not have been possible otherwise. Thank YOU! (Thank you , too, from the BRO, with your help we were able to provide toys for over 4,000 children during our toy distribution days.)

























There were 21 members and guests in attendance at the Blue Owl on Dec. 4th. that is a great way to begin the Christmas Season with good friends and good food in a lovely place. At the Dec. 4th meeting I had a senior moment dealing with the identify of our Oaxacan student. I read some information that we had received which fit our student. I called Sally Norris and she concurred with my belief that it was our student. thus I told the story of her graduation and going to work. Now here is the senior part. That was not our student! Our student's name is Celia Jaurez Martinez. She is beginning her 5th semester of schooling and we are committed to helping support her until she graduates. We will be collecting for her at the Feb. 7th meeting. I am so sorry for the misinformation.

The Executive Meeting was snowed out on Jan. 11th. I will email the Executive Committee in a few days with the information to be considered for discussion at 4:30 PM on Feb. 7th in the Valley Library, before the regular meeting.

Merry Christmas to all!

Next Meeting - December 4

Our next meeting is December 4 at the Blue Owl Restaurant in Kimmswick, MO. We'll meet at 10 AM, meal choices are $14. We will be taking up a collection for our Oaxacan student that day. You'll find us in the Owl's Nest Room. This room seats about 40, so feel free to invite a guest or two. It is the first day of the Christmas Festival so there will be lots to see and to do.



Building Reps please contact me with the meal counts by November 23, that will be the last day of school before Thanksgiving break. Retirees should contact Sherri by Friday, November 26.



Gamma Tau Day at the Board of Religious Organizations will be Monday, November 29. Nine people have signed up so far and there is still room for more. Let me know soon if you plan to attend. I will send details in an email on November 22.

Thanks to the Legislative Committee for their fine work with the November 8th meeting. The tables looked great with the leaves, candy and cloth pumpkins made by Bev Devine. Jennifer McKenzie from Jefferson County Family Support Children's Division brought us up to date with the changes in mandatory and non-mandatory reporting. I saved Brenda AuBuchon's marriage by keeping her in her seat. Obviously, many of us felt that tug at our heart strings for these children since we collected $125 for the children's Christmas gifts this year.

Trish Guethle received her 20 year pin for her continued support of our organization. Thank you, Trish.

Yearbooks are now available. I will have them at the next meeting. Thank you to Cindy Horn for doing all of the copying.

Please begin thinking about candidates for the next initiation. The next meeting would be a good time to introduce them to the organization.

Joint Council

Joint Council was a HUGE success! We had over 90 in attendance and I can truly say everyone had a good time. We received a thank you for a "wonderfully planned and executed Jount Council. " "My chapter was thoroughly pleased!" from Lori Burke, President of Beta Delta. Dot Kinman said, " It wasn't a meeting it was a party!" That is exactly how I feel too.

Pam Penrose and the Joint Council Committee were stellar. " Minute To Win It" was a laugh riot. When the pantyhose went over Jan Cranmer's, Kristen Daffron, Barb Gilcrease's and Deb Padgett;s ( acting as our own Vanna White) heads we laughed so hard it brought us to tears. that is going above and beyond for the cause. Sherri Talbott also gave her all as a Gamma Tau participant. Also, thank you, to all those who participated in setting up and cleaning up the games.

Sandy Wynn won the 50/50 Drawing and donated a portion back to the 2013 Regional Conference. A BIG THANK YOU to Cindy Horn for the designing and printing of the program. There is no end to her creative talents.

I repeatly heard how wonderful the library looked with all of your tablecloths and baked goods as centerpieces. We raised $207 for the Scholarship Fund. Thank you for contributing to the cause. If you didn't get your tablecloth that night Pam will have them at the Nove. 8th ,meeting. I am very proud and happy to be a member of Gamma Tau.

You might have been wondering when I was going to have the Yearbook ready. Well, I intend to have them at the next meeting. You will have all the latest information on members and anything else you might need to know in a red folder.
