Judy Huyvaert

Many thanks are in order this month...October is definitely the busiest month for our club. We started the month with our booth at the Health & Safety Fair- thank you Sherry Esposito & all the girls who worked our booth! Jeanette, Mary Wolski & I attended Chief Ralph Blust's retirement party on the 8th. Then came our big event- the Fall Auction- many thanks to our chairmen Sharon Fonte & Linda Jackson; Donna Bekas our Balloon Raffle Chairman and also to so many of you who helped for months or weeks before, those who donated items, those who helped that night...it certainly was a success!! And thank God Norm showed up- what a relief! Next up was the Bake Sale at GH Harvest Fest- thanks to everyone who baked and especially those who worked our booth that day! Another big October event was the Holiday Showcase...many thanks to our Chairman Mary Wolski who spent countless hours planning and calling and preparing as well as Joanna Seebeck who worked with Mary every step of the way and again thanks to all the club members who helped that day. I also want to thank Peggy Wells and our Nominating Committee who will be presenting a slate for our 2005 Executive Board positions. I am also still in need of chairmen for several of our Committees & Departments, please consider taking on a chairmanship position- your support of our club work is so important! We will
need a "few good men" to also step forward for the 2005 Fall Auction. We at least need to get the date booked and Norm confirmed immediately...then we plan on further breaking down the Auction Chairmen into major categories, so no one (or two) people have to take on the chairmanship task alone. Hopefully this will make it easier on everyone.

I look forward to seeing you all on the 3rd at Glenside Fire District. See you then!

Legislature Committee

The media frenzy surrounding the Presidential and US Senate races has already given you more information than you probably wanted to know about all the candidates running. There are also referendums on most ballots again. There are referendums in Addison, Carol Stream, Roselle, and Glenbard School District 87.

SOCIAL COMMITTEE

Our Murder Mystery Social is shaping up to be a fun evening. As of now, we have about 35 people signed up to attend. By the time you read this, I will have turned in the numbers for the dinner, but we still have five spaces open for the murder mystery. If you or anyone you know are still interested in that, the cost is $20/person payable at the November General Meeting.

The event will be held at the Holiday Inn in Carol Stream at Gary and North Avenues. Dinner will be at 6:30 p.m. in the Garden Room off the main restaurant dining room. Everyone has chosen their meal; there will be a cash bar. We will move upstairs to a meeting room for more privacy for the actual "murder" at 8 p.m. It is expected to last approximately 1-1/2 hours.

Any questions prior to the meeting, please call me.

November Birthdays:

Mary Wolski       11/02

November Wedding Anniversaries:

Christine and Guy Seagrave    11/23

Happy belated Anniversary to Virginia and Jim Proffitt who celebrated on October 23!

A special hello goes out to someone close to our hearts in this club. Rumor has it that he reads the newsletters before his wife does and finds them very informative! This man is behind the scenes for almost all of the major functions that this club is involved in. His creativity, expert craftsmanship and endless hours devoted to this club are truly appreciated. How many ways can we say thank you to Mel Warren, the magic man behind the incredible magic woman, Ann!
Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do for this club Mel! Your hard work is always above and beyond!
