At the February meeting
we will be learning to make Cosmopolitans. Bring your favorite
Martini glass (and a shaker if you have one). The ingredients
for making the drinks will be provided. Since it is the day after
Valentines, you can bring all those chocolates you want to share.
We will eat, drink, and be merry. If you think you may get
too "merry" please arrange not to drive.
Princess Project
They will take
the dresses starting Feb 21st, so think about getting any prom
dresses ready for Shirley to take to them. We'll collect at the
February meeting or you can bring them to Shirley in that following
week. They want up-to-date prom dresses, purses, wraps, or jewelry
to give to girls who have no prom dress or way to get one. (See
website below.)

January Planning Meeting....by
Cathy
At the January
meeting we discussed the year 2004 and planned it out. Dues were
due at this meeting.
They are $12 for the year. Randi brought a thank you from the
girl we helped out with
a donation to go on the college visit trip. Sorry I do not have
her name. We finished out the
evening with a regift exchange. There were 8 of us participating.
Ginny came up the big winner
with another reindeer for her collection.

Community Outreach
Sally called the
community outreach person at the Las Plumas shelter and found
out the following:
The San Jose Family Shelter, where we have donated our "shoeboxes"
in the past, has an ongoing, critical need for bed linens and
towels. They would appreciate us donating pillows, twin size bed
sheets, and regular size towels. They will accept new or used
towels and sheets. (They do have a few full-double-sized beds
and will accept sheets in that size also.) Each family can stay
at the shelter for up to 90 days. When they leave they get to
take their linens with them to their new home.
Sally suggests we all work on collecting these items, bring them
to the March meeting, and she will bag and deliver them to the
shelter. Also, since the club has a large cash balance currently,
we might consider donating some percentage of that to purchasing
new pillows for the shelter. sally would be willing to scout out
Mervyn sales, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Target etc. for the best price.
Perhaps this could be discussed at the February meeting (Sally
will be out of town).
Shirley's March meeting will no longer be assembling shoeboxes,
but will be the place and time to deliver your donations. If you
can't make the March meeting, you are welcome to bring donations
to Sally's house any time.
Jazzie Jewels
Looking for something
new? Why not come to a new (for me anyway) ladies party! It's
called Jazzie Jewels and the ladies are coming from Washington
to present it at Don Pitcher's cousin's house in San Jose. The

of the Trunk Show, Bring home your treasures that very night.
Styles and prices to fit your wardrobe! Earrings, necklace and
earring sets, Jazzie "jeweled" handbags (sounds right
up Ginny's alley), scarves, childrens jewelry, leather handbags
and much more." Wine and refreshments provided.
When: Friday, February 13 at 6:30pm to 8:30pm (open house)
Cindy needs to RSVP so call her if you would like to go. (She
says we can carpool if you like)
