ANNOUNCEMENTS
Crab Feast

will be contacting members with businesses
to make certain they are planning to have an
ad in the program this year.
o Grady Wann noted that we have only
collected 20% of the Silent Auction items
that we normally collect. Please make
every effort to make your solicitation calls
and turn items in at Exchange Bank as
quickly as possible.
o Lynda Guthrie reminded everyone that all proceeds from the Silent Auction will
go to a local fire fund.
o Jim Westfall handed out the Volunteer List
noting that there are a few empty slots that
need to be filled.
o John Hazlett reminded everyone that each
member is expected to donate 2 bottles of
good quality wine to the Wine Collection
that usually generates around $2,000 in the
Live Auction.
President Kate reminded everyone that there will be a joint Social with the Sunrise Club
on Thursday, November 2nd
at the Healdsburg Museum beginning at 5pm. Free. A
signup sheet was passed.
Paul Frechette, Membership Chair, announced that
Doug Ruthnick has moved to Concord and has bought a
weekend house in Truckee. Doug hopes to come to a meeting
to say goodbye. With the loss of Max and Jen Crowe moving
out of the area, we need to bring in three new members this year
just to stay even.
RECOGNITIONS
Dick Bertapelle just returned from a trip to SoCal
for a family wedding in San Diego. Lots of golf in San
Diego and Santa Barbara before returning. $25 to the
Education Fund.
HAPPY DOLLARS
President Kate sadly announced that she had to put
down her Yellow Lab, Turkey, who due to age was
traumatized by the fire evacuation. $5 to the Education
Fund.
Patti Mannatt noted that while she didn’t lose her
house in the fire, she has noted that there are things we
lose in life that we never get back. One example for
her was her “virginity”. Another was challenged when
she couldn’t buy wine at Target without proving she
was over 21! $5 to the Education Fund.
RAFFLE
Gary Anderson had the Raffle Ticket but did not pick the
winning marble. He did receive a wonderful bottle of
Bertapelle Wine.
PROGRAM: Healdsburg Ukulele Club
Several members of the Healdsburg Ukulele Club, that recently celebrated its 8th
year,
entertained us with more than eleven songs. Everyone sang along with great gusto! Songs
included:
Lulu’s Back in Town
Ain’t She Sweet
Bill Baley
Don’t Fence Me In
Five Foot Two
I Walked the Line
Sweet Georgia Brown
On the Sunny Side of the Street
Shine On Harvest Moon
This Land is Your Land
When You’re Smiling
And, a couple more
At the end of the program, one of the members pointed out the different Ukuleles that the
members were playing, such as the Soprano, baritone, concert and tenor ukuleles.
It was a fun and entertaining program enjoyed by all!
CLOSING: President Kate thanked guests/speakers and rang the bell at 1:20pm.
