Today's Meeting Review!
Lydia gave this morning's invocation. She reminded us all of how nice it is when we turn the clocks turn back and we can snuggle into our warm homes, take a breath and relax a bit.
Sunshine: Keep Dave Miller and his wife Pat in your prayers. JoAnne Shope has a new great grandson, Henry, in Montana.
We have several SITS anniversaries this month:
Cookie Rork 19 years
Kim Valverde 9 years
Tina Miranda 1 year
Wendy David 25 years
Jennifer Stafford 9 years
Carolyn Robinson 18 years
Thank everyone of you for making this club so strong!
Today was our monthly business meeting. Previous monthly meeting minutes were approved.
We spent the remainder of the meeting discussing our options and voting on our next fundraiser. The general consensus was that we will keep our online auction as always, plan on an in person, smaller, event in the spring, and incorporate a raffle if possible.

Update from Jen at Zawadisha!
The Zawadisha team approved and disbursed 252 loans to 17 women's groups. There will still a handful of groups who had requested loans, so this month the team disbursed 61 loans to three new women's groups.
There's been a heightened interest in simple household items like chairs and mattresses, and this is a good sign. It means that people feel comfortable taking loans out for non-essential items. The financial stress that people have felt is letting up a bit, and that's a relief for everyone.
As usual, the women have a month to "rest" before they start repaying over a six or 12-month payment plan. Once they repay in full, they are eligible for another loan.
Did you know that you can see and learn about our life-changing micro-lending model IRL in the summer of 2023? We have three guided, all-inclusive trips for you to choose from.. Spots are starting to fill up, so click on that link today and respond to this email with any questions.
Thanks again for your support!
