Breakfast with Santa
Thank you to our wonderful committee -- Jeni Carter, Helen Davila-Martin, Janette Speakman, & Stephanie Watson -- who hosted a HUGE crowd on Saturday. We had 115 RSVPs.
Apologies
We had several members who missed out on Breakfast with Santa due to missing email addresses and the Evite app malfunctioning. I am very sorry if you didn't get to attend. We try to communicate all activities via email or the Facebook group.
Winter Gathering
Book your babysitters now because you will not want to miss the Winter Gathering! This is one of the largest events our group does every year. Join us on Saturday, January 11th, 7:30 pm for an evening of heavy hors d'oeuvres, adult beverages, and desserts. Lisa Harst, our host, will be mixing a special signature drink as well. You can RSVP to [email protected] or the evite arriving in your mailbox soon.
Please mail or drop off your check for $20 per couple made out to OHMC at Lisa Harst's house, 4316 Sheraton Rd, 43615 by January 4th.
OHMC Treasurer
Kris Hertlein is not going to be able to continue her duties as treasurer for the remainder of her term, so I'm looking for someone to fill her position. If you can count, you qualify! Seriously, actual duties include depositing money, collecting member dues, reimbursing expenses, obtaining petty cash for events as needed, and being a key member of the executive team. :o) If interested, contact Michelle Walker or 330-416-3034.
Meal Trains
We have two members who welcomed new baby boys. Please consider providing them with a meal or breakfast basket. Click on their name for the appropriate meal train link -- Julie Pardee & Megan Farris.
