The club decided to continue meeting at Suntree Village for the entire year, not taking a summer break. Most meetings were well-attended! A couple of meetings were postponed a week or two due to weather (January) or travel to other events (March). Otherwise, the 2nd Tuesday remains the scheduled date.
The December 10, 2024, club meeting at Suntree Village was the annual Christmas/holiday potluck, with the club supplying the ham, and club members bringing side dishes and desserts. Everything was excellent! There were several nice raffle prizes including silver rounds donated by the coin shop, and there were a few good auction items. In addition, Eric briefly presented the show & tell PDF files for 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 (available on this website) and the program he’ll be giving at the Deschutes Public Library in January.

The August 13, 2024, club meeting at Suntree Village included refreshments, a raffle, and a program on “Olympic Participation Medals of the Summer Games” given by Eric, who will check to see if there were any participation medals from the just-completed Paris Olympics, and then post the program online.
