Turn in 2027 awards list by Jan 29. To Kathy

We Signed up for insect mini programs.

I mentioned sending memorial money to National for Johnnie. Paul will check in with national to see where $ needed. After the fact Paul checked, there is a general fund. Her name would be listed in the March Bulletin. It needs to be okayed by members.

Paul had a new idea for handling the raffle by drawing sticks with our names on them. Since people don't listen when their number is called. It worked out good.

Paula had a very informative and interesting program with a slide show on Battersea buttons. She had many great examples. Things I didn't know they made. Others brought some too.

We had show n tell and the raffle and lunch.
