Today at the Breakfast

We stuffed the bottles with "soft" coins

Our speaker was Echo from NW Children’s Outreach.  Their non-profit supplies clothes, toys, and emergency kits to families with children.  Today we passed around a baby bottle called “Coins for Kids.”  We filled two bottles totaling $43.00!.  Proceeds will go to NWCO to supply diapers.

Remember…Next week is Thanksgiving so NO breakfast meeting.

Go to the website in the calendar and click on December 8th “Christmas Party.”  Leave a comment on your attendance and any guests.  We need this to help the restaurant prepare.  No Breakfast meeting that day.  The Party will be at 6:00 PM at the Peppermill.

Alan, the acting President (I do mean acting) presents mug to Echo.

The Next Two Weeks

I will be gone the next two breakfasts but look forward to seeing everyone when I return. Wally J.

Garage sale results

Well the rain didn’t cooperate at the sale but in spite of that the club’s net take was over $325.00.  Thanks to all who helped at the sale and for all who gave donated items.

Garage Sale Final Update

Things are shaping up for the sale.  I’ve heard from a number of you regarding items you are bringing.  I’m hoping the weather holds out and we do well.

Here are some reminders:

• You can drop off your items at the Beaverton Nazarene Church, 12555 SW 22nd Street (Corner of Hall & 22nd, just south of the Beaverton Resource Center).  Items can be dropped off anytime after 2:00 PM.  If you need to make an early drop off call me at 503-985-8016.  (Remember, we are NOT selling clothing items)
• We still could use some additional volunteers.  Let me know if you are available.
• If you have suggestions for the pricing of your items, please leave a sticky note on the items.
• The youth group will be selling coffee and we will be selling bottled water.
• Wear your Optimist hats, shirts, vests, etc. at the sale.
• Tell your friends and neighbors about the sale.  It’s posted on Craigslist and the hours are 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM

SEE YOU THERE!
