The Whiskey Creek Ladies’ Club was ready to greet the new year as 33 members and four guests eagerly attended the meeting. President Mo Poirier opened the meeting with a flag salute and a welcome. Ellie Neal read the inspirational message, “Never Forget.” The tables were decorated in a wintery theme by Cathy Trent. Prior meeting’s minutes and Treasurer’s Report were approved. In February, a Nominating Committee will be formed to prepare a slate of officers to present at the March meeting and then hold elections in April. Cindy Saldin volunteered to serve as chairperson of the Nominating Committee. President Poirier reminded members that name badges must be worn at meetings to avoid a $1 fine. She also announced that the cost of lunch is $24. Members are asked to pay by check or exact cash. Check is preferred.

President Poirier encouraged members to invite friends to join us as guests to attend a meeting and lunch and possibly join the ladies’ club.
