Thank you to those of you who signed up to participate in the Macy's Christmas Parade the morning after Thanksgiving, November 26! I had to turn in the names by Oct. 15 BUT hope a few more of you will volunteer and show up. Please let me know if you decide to do so - the club earns $20. per participant.
I'll be letting you know next time OPB runs a membership drive so mentally commit to the idea.
I'll see you at our holiday party on Dec. 4 if not before!

Wow! I am glad fall is here. I have to tell you all, if you did not attend the auction this year at the Ollison’s, you missed out on one of the best auctions we have had. We made about $3,200 which will be used to offset the cost of the Christmas Party on December 4. Additional proceeds will be split equally into the Marfan, Miss Tall Portland, Scholarship, and General funds. As soon as we have our Christmas Party we will have totals for you as to where your money went.
Tickets for Members to attend the Christmas Party will be $15. Guest and prospective member tickets will be $25. Tickets will be available at the Halloween Party, so bring a check and get your tickets early. Or, you can mail your check to the P.O. Box before December 1, and your tickets will be mailed to you. Those waiting to get tickets at the door will pay $35.00 per ticket (member or guest).
I expect to see all of you at the Christmas Party. We are going to have a GREAT time.
Your Prez,
Teresa

October Vice-President's Note
I'd like to welcome our newest members! You are in for a great time and very good friendships.
Friday, November 26 is the Macy's Parade. It is one of our greatest fundraisers and we need VOLUNTEERS. By now you should have received the email with the form on it; just fill it out and return it to me ASAP as space fills up quickly and we don't want to miss out! We can include family members as young as 10 years old. We must have 20 volunteers for me to apply for participation. The parade will not be televised this year, unfortunately.
We did not get enough volunteers for the OPB TV fundraiser, but I thank those of you who did volunteer to help out. There will be more dates for the radio fundraiser very soon. Watch your emails for this!
Be sure to mark your calendar for our Christmas dinner dance on Saturday, December 4. I look forward to seeing everyone at a gathering in the very near future and hope to meet you new members very soon.

Well here, it is another month. I have been very busy in hopes of helping with Seattle’s convention and it looks like that is just what I will be doing.
If you have not heard it yet, let me be the first to tell you, Seattle Washington’s Tip Toppers will be hosting Convention 2011. I will be helping Kate Weigant as much as I can with a Pre-Convention in Leavenworth. Jan Jorgenson, a former member of the Skyliners is starting a club in Yakima called “The Yakima Talls” and our two clubs will be assisting or sharing in the ventures.
Post convention in Victoria Canada. Ahh! That is right. Jane Baldwin, Michele Corbeil and I scoped out some possibilities a few short weeks ago and it looks very promising. Check out the pictures.
It sounds like I will be busy, for sure.. Especially if I am to go to Euro Convention in Paris this year in May!
This last month we had made almost $300.00 for the scholarship program with the garage sale that was held at my house. This was with the help of those members who gave up some things for us to sell, and those who helped by stopping by and either working the sale or buying things. We all had fun.
By now you should have all received a call from a board member to inform you of the things that are coming up.and I have to tell you I am looking forward to a GREAT turn out at the auction. Remember this event is going to offset the cost of the Christmas Party for everyone.
We are also looking for people to help with the Macy’s Parade organization. This will take place the day after Thanksgiving. No you do not have to walk, you can check people in, You can tell them were to go. You can help get them in costumes. And then you can go watch the parade. If this sounds like fun or something you would be up for, give Diana Larsen a call or drop her an email. For every volunteer,we get $20.00 to go for our scholarship program. Your grandkids and children can help as long as they are 10 years old or older. Last year this event raised $280.00 I will be there and looking forward to seeing you there with me.
See you soon,
Teresa
