Not too long ago . . . a decision was made to pay a little extra when we paid for lunch and dinner (I’m thinking it was April). WOW! Does $2.00 extra add up fast! We already have $322.00 in our kitty. The kitty was designated to be used for assisting members of our club! For example: membership dues for those that are on a limited income, or have met a milestone of membership like 20 years, or for a member in need. So, keep in mind that we are building our kitty each time we pay for lunch or dinner. While it may only cost $10.50 for lunch when we meet and eat at the Holiday Inn we pay $13.00. Say it costs $20.00 to meet and eat dinner we pay $22.00 (or like the one time we used Avanti – dinner was $9.00ish and we paid $22.00!). About $50.00 goes into the kitty each time we meet. We pay extra for a great cause . . . US . . . the members of our club!
