WEEKLY COFFEE & DISCUSSION 6:45AM, MANCHESTER FAMILY INN
Attending were Joe Blazevich, Paul Gilligan, Ron and Joyce Rada, Bud and Wanda
Larsen, and Peggy Warren. A good turnout for a really
COLD early morning, windshields frozen, and BRRRRR all over.
We had scheduled group member Duane Miller and a Citizen's on Patrol
official. We just had a good visit with many things to talk
about. Everyone had recovered (more or less) from the busy
Thanksgiving holiday. We will make arrangements to have COP
join us again on a date in the near future. Be sure to use
the COP services when you need a vacation watch for your home. They do an
excellent job in keeping your property secure. In fact they do such
a good job, that when Bud and Wanda were delayed getting out of town for the
Thanksgiving week, COP showed up in front of the house, called and asked
us what we were still doing there?
No report yet from our
By-Laws Committee. The Manchester Foundation will be meeting
next Thursday evening at the Library, following the 6:30 MCC Executive Board
Meeting. In put from that meeting will enable us to move forward with the
by-laws and other matters.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
This evening (11-27) 6:30PM regular monthly MCC meeting at the Library.
Nominations for Officers for the coming year will be forthcoming. They
will be reviewing the outcome of the Monday 11-26th Board of County
Commissioners meeting. The main topic of business will be their review of
our subarea plan and after all this is what the MCC has been working on for the
past several years.
Bud announced that some of
the guests we will have to come in the months ahead include representative of
GIS Kitsap Public Works, Mr. Davis who represents the public schools security
programs, someone from Animal Control, and Lt. Collins of the Sheriff's
Department. In January our own
Group member Joe Guariz is recovering from a nasty leg injury resulting from
stepping off a boat on to the dock. He is down in bed for at least 6
weeks following surgery to repair torn muscles in his leg. As
active as Joe is that has to be a hard one, so drop him a card or give him a
call.

information later on the December 8th tree lighting at the library. A tree has been secured and getting it
relocated, guy-wired and up is being done by Phil Paquette. If you
have large DURABLE decorations, they are always needed as rain and winds have
an annual toll on the tree decorations. Due to prior
scheduling, the Kitsap Fire & Rescue team along with Santa Claus will be
unable to join us this year. Lets have a
big turnout and bring the kids. Mark your calendar right now.
In the spirit of Christmas

times:
