Well, if you already haven’t already done so, it is time to place your orders for our “2012 Berners of the North Coast” calendar. This will be our last fundraiser of the year. And, I think it will be one of our best calendars ever! Check out the attached cover winning photo of Jeannie and Bill Bussey’s “Rudy” and “Blessing”. This is just a teaser of the other photos that will appear in the calendar. What a great gift idea for the holidays.
Please let me know how many calendars ($20 each) you would like to order . We hope to have them available for pick up at our Oktoberfest meeting. If not then, we will definitely have them at our Annual Meeting on November 19th. If you are unable to attend either meeting we will mail the calendars to you.
Thank you again for your continuing support!

 

Our beautiful calendar is now available in our club's store.   And, while you are there, browse the other popular items.  You'll find something you wish you had  -  guaranteed :)
