New Business:
It was brought up to think about choosing to make a monetary donation to an animal shelter this year. (Instead of hauling many bags of dog/cat food, toys, beds ect.)
Marilyn has asked that everyone please save their plastic caps from bottles. Even the lids from most 5 gallon buckets can be brought in. She is taking up a collection and Caps of Love melts the lids down and make wheelchairs for disabled children.
