MPPC December Minutes
Attendance: Rhonda Angel, Chris Angel, John Lambert, John Daniels, Eric Reiner, Peggy Arvay, Janice Thomas, Kenny Balthaser, Bev Johnston, Bonnie Johnson, Nancy Lambert, Katie Holmes, Misty McGiffin, Sherry Hamilton, Kamal Kassouf
We discussed dues and decided to change the dues from $24 to $25 for individuals, and from $36 to $35 for families in order to make giving change easier (so we aren’t dealing with a bunch of singles). If you have not already paid your dues please plan on paying at the January meeting.
Sunday December 12th Field Trip – German Village
We plan on meeting at Shiller Park at the Shiller statue, at 3 pm. We are hoping to get some daylight shots, grab a bite and then get some night shots of the lights. This is an opportunity to get some City Lights, and Christmas Time shots for scavenger hunt this quarter. If anyone would like to car pool you can contact Kamal to make arrangements. He has one seat in his vehicle and if we need more he can contact others to see if they can also transport people. kkassouf@columbus.rr.com
