Hostesses will be Carolyn Murphy and Mary Carol Marotta. We will be having hors d’oeuvres, cookies, coffee and tea. The cost is $15.00. A cash bar will also be available.

Christmas is the season for giving! As was suggested at the November meeting, we will be collecting items for Lockport C.A.R.E.S. and the Sisters of St. Mary of Namur. Lockport

C.A.R.E.S. is in need of socks, large sized fleece tops or pants. The sister are in need of clean, used warm clothing for their refugee shelter - this includes warm jackets, sweaters and boots. If you would like to bring these items to the December meeting, Patty Russell and Monica Pullano have volunteered to deliver any items donated.

Gail Marshall is still looking for volunteers to help ring bells for the Salvation Army on December 5 for the location at the Lockport Tops from 6-8 PM. If interested, please call her at 434-4306. This is the last spot to be filled and she thanks everyone in advance who has volunteered.

Every meeting is a guest meeting, so be sure and invite a friend! We are always ready to welcome friends and potential new members! New directories are available, so be sure to pick yours up at the meeting. Remember to take any if you can deliver to a member who is not present.

We are still in need a person to serve as Secretary this year. It is not an arduous job! And can be a way for you to meet members! This position can be shared by two people, too. So if you are interested, please let Patty Russell or any other Board Member know of your interest. We will be looking for a volunteer to take minutes at each meeting until we find a Secretary.

Hasn’t it been such a great pleasure to listen to the correspondence that we receive from our scholarship recipients! It is such a reward to know that our efforts have helped young women reach for their dreams. Lockport College Women’s Club has been in the business of supporting young women achieve their academic dreams for nearly 100 years. Our 100^t^ Year Anniversary will happen in 2020! Let’s start thinking about ways to celebrate this accomplishment. If you have any historical memorabilia or would like to jot down remembrances, please do so as we would like to include these in the celebration. Let’s encourage friends and family to join the Club to keep the tradition viable.

The next Board of Directors meeting will be held on January 101, 2018 at the home of Mary Beth Caswell, 5886 Marion Drive, Lockport at 7:00 PM. Please contact Marion if you are unable to attend.
