2010 Christmas Party:The climax of 2010 for the Queen City
Coopers was our annual Pot Luck Christmas Party on December 17th. The party was hosted by Jennifer and Gaby Batshoun at Gaby's offices in Newport. Gaby has been a gracious host at Global Business Solutions for perhaps five years or so. The crowning touch for the evening was the white elephant gift exchange where we all had a chance to steal gifts from each other while for the most part remaining friends. The Mini Poster, One of the popular presents, was taken home by our club president. We did learn some unhappy news. We're going to be back to having only one Dave and Laura in club as Dave and Laura Bales are pulling up roots, they have sold their home here in Cincinnati and they are on their way to their retirement home in The Villages in Florida. It's good to know that Dave and Laura Knight with their two Minis will be staying with us. A great time was had by all. "
Boot & BonnetQueen City Coopers want your input!Join us Feb 3rd at BackYard Inn for our monthly motor inn..
The Queen City Cooper club had their yearly planning meeting at Cincinnati Mini. We enjoyed some beer, wine and pizza while having some great conversations. Rob Rauch started the meeting by having everyone introduce themselves. We would like to welcome a few new members Lorna Zwerin and Lan Ackley. Overall we had twenty members attend and help fill the calendar with a lot of great drives and destinations for the new year. Next Gaby explained the Treasures Report.
Michael discussed the club newsletter, name tags, member application, card and dues. All members need fill out a membership application when they pay their dues, so their information can be updated and name tag colors can be selected. Name tags will be ordered for members after January 31st. Membership cards will be distributed when dues are paid. $25 Membership dues need to be paid by January 31st.
We discussed how the monthly meeting location was changing. They will now be at the Back Yard Inn at 1296 St. Rt 28, Loveland 45150 ( east of Milford on 28). Also the general consensus was better food, and easier to conduct club meetings.
