Club servers are volunteers who work for tips. If you are interested, or if you have children seeking part-time work, please contact John Stanavage.

Maintenance Team
The Trustees are organizing a Maintenance Team to occasionally help with projects around the Club.
-
Experienced Help: We're looking for members with experience in electrical, plumbing, carpentry, or HVAC to assist if the need arises.
-
General Help: We're also looking for general helpers to assist with tasks that may be too large for the Trustees to handle alone.
Participation on any project is voluntary, and only if one is willing and available. If you are interested in learning more, contact Barry Waltz.

Is it too early to be thinking of Christmas?
Not if your Kim Reinfried!
Kim is preparing for the Kinder Shoppe that she will manage at Christkindlmarkt on December 14. The shop is intended for children to purchase low-cost gifts for their family and friends. The Shop sells items to children ranging from $0.50 to $5. Shop proceeds are donated to the Club's Youth Cultural Grant Fund.
As it is yard sale season, donations of leftover yard sale items in good, saleable condition are requested.
Last year there was a shortage of children's items. Stuffed animals, games, toys, and puzzles all make great gifts. Consider items that parents may like as well. Hold on to these items. Later in the year, Kim will place a donation box in the foyer. If you have questions, reach out to Kim Here.
