August 20th - Wauconda Country Home Club Meeting
Kathy decided to begin with projects first, then lunch, and then our meeting.
Mary Ann read minutes. Approved as read.
Treasury Report was read, recorded and approved. The Car Show and Sock Hop were a great success even though we did not have as big a crowd for the Food Booth and Craft Table as last year.
Correspondence - Thank You cards from Cody Epps for graduate quilt (only one to graduate in Wauconda this year). Pat Weaver sent us a thank you for our donation to help her as well. We will send a "Get Well" card to Reva who was injured recently by a ram.
Birthdays: Linda, Tree, Effie Lea, Jayquetta
New/Old Business: Regarding Raffle Basket's; we need to be specific about when the drawing will be so no one will feel as though they have been mislead (Example: Raffle Basket at the Sock Hop not drawn until the Garlic Festival) We need to clarify this process.
NEW: Garlic Festival - Peggy has two tables to sell her things along with the club crafts & cookbook's. We need to sell crafts for income in order to continue the good works we do! A help/sign up sheet was sent around for volunteers on Friday and Saturday. Club paid Peggy $45 for setting up our Garlic Festival spot. (motion/2nd/passed) Thanks Peggy!
Christmas Quilt: We need more blocks completed! We would like to have this completed as soon as possible, however, if this is not possible it may have to wait until next year. There were many idea/copies handed out around the first of the year for this quilt but so far only eight have been completed and handed in. "Daylight's burning" ladies!
Car Show & Sock Hop - Everyone who came enjoyed themselves, and we were fairly compensated for our efforts even though there were not as many visitor's at the Car Show as last year. The Hall sold many pies, however, the muffin's & donut's did not sell as well as expected. BethAnn's cinnamon rolls were gone in a heartbeat! Pat won the Elvis quilt but didn't really need it and had them draw another name. Max won this time and gave it to Teresa from Spokane (one of our entertainer's at the Sock Hop). She was thrilled!
**** Reminder for next year's Elvis quilt: If you see any Elvis or sock hop (or old car) material please pick up at least 2 yards if possible and club will reimburse you. ****
Cookbooks: We had enough material left to complete 20 cookbooks for sale, and put them into a pink jacket, much like our club t-shirts.
We need to sell the remaining cookbooks' for $12 each to offset costs. Motion made/2nd/passed. The next two months we need to discuss a new cookbook because this cookbook is three years old now.
Pastor for Wauconda Church had 4 kids; one girl was pregnant, and died (lost both). Donating $50 to Republic Library in memory of them. Motion/2nd/passed.
Efflie Lea - Thanks us for batting she received. Reported Liz W. is doing well, at home and resting.
*** Project: "Life Spirits" - Make a card out with what we are grateful for and put where you can see and be reminded daily! It would be nice if you bring your to our September meeting if you would like to share. Read from "Family Friends, and Funny Stories by Don & Dave McClure, Cowboy Jack poem & joke.
Gift drawing winners - Linda & Jan!
Brenda looking for stair-stepper type exercise machine if anyone has one they want to get rid of.
We tied some small quilts for Effie Lea; filled little cold compress bags with rice to sell; decorated baskets that Lola cannot use for raffles.
Note - Roberta could not find the hot dogs so we made Sloppy Joe's. Kathy brought some hot dogs, we already had buns and it was a good meal just the same!
Guest: Kathy's friend, Monta from the coast, helped sew little bags closed for us(plus was a big help at the Garlic Festival). Thanks for your help Monta!
SEPTEMBER 17th MEETING:
We decided that our ladies group can cook better than any restaurant in this area so we will have our FUN "Fall Meeting" at the Hall. We thought it would be fun to focus on Mexican cuisine for this meeting to get our creative juices flowing . . . !!!! Hey, you might consider bringing a Sombero!
We always have a good turn out so we look forward to visiting with you in September!

June 18th - Wauconda Country Home Club Meeting
We welcomed Kathy, our club president, back from vacation! She looked refreshed! Thank you Peggy for taking care of the May meeting in Kathy's absence.
MaryAnn shared a note of thanks from Pat Darling. She will join club as soon as she is able and said she missed us all. EffieLea read excerpts from "Pioneer stories" - coming west on a wagon train and settling. Another story was read of a family who traveled from April to October and settled in Oregon. EffieLea sang a song - "Wedding of Jack & Jill.
Treasure Report: Pat reported the biggest, single donation made during our rummage sale was for the exercise machine that had been donated by Jon & Bobby Wilson. We will be sending them a special thank you for their generous offering. There were a number of packages of hot dogs and buns left from the yard sale and Roberta has them stored in her freezer. Anyone in club is welcome to purchase some if they are interested. Peggy's husband was nice enough to volunteer to cart all the donations that did not sell to the new Fisher Bros. Flea Market LLC in Republic (at the old Gibb building). We gave him some gas money for his efforts. Thank You Ron!
Correspondence: We received a very nice Thank You from June for her surprise birthday party last Saturday, June 8th. A Sympathy card was sent to Tree & family for the passing of her mother-in-law.
OLD Business: Flea Market was rather slow. There were not many people outside our women's group and vendor's visiting this event, and not many volunteer's working. We need a better showing of support.
Sock Hop - Hall will provide dessert so the women's club is not responsible for providing anything at this event. We have asked to provide donuts and coffee from 9 to Noon in order to encourage the Car Show visitor's/exhibitor's to stick around for our Sloppy Joe's at noon and the evening Sock Hop.
Ann & BethAnn will be responsible for setting things up for our food booth and craft table. Pat's husband, Gary and other Hall member's will set up the tents outside for this event. Peggy was given a blank check from club in order to buy the groceries necessary to prepare the Sloppy Joe's we will make for this event. (Motion/2nd/Passed)
Denise and Peggy will work together on this list. We will pay the Hall $50 for our booth at this event. The Elvis quilt is coming together nicely, with only the batting and backing needing completion.
We have around 10 squares completed for our Christmas quilt with only a few more left to complete. We need to make more apron's to raise funds for our club and Kathy brought aprons to make patterns from for those interested. Kathy also brought home some nice, long, plastic bags that can be cut up and made into those carrying bags we have sold at events in the past.
Kristi left enough Baking Mix for everyone in club to take home, thanks to a very generous donation to the food bank. There is more there than they have room to store!
Birthdays: Lydia (6th), June (8th), Kim (10th), Roberta (29th), Ann (30th)
Club T-shirts: The Kocol's completed our order and they are in Kathy's possession. If anyone would like to order a club sweatshirt please sign up because we need a minimum order of 10 in order for it to be worth the time involved. The t-shirts are free to new member's or anyone in club who does not have one, however, the sweatshirts are more costly and I believe the cost was quoted between $18 to $20 per sweatshirt.
Gift drawings: The winner's this month were Peggy, Judy and Effie Lea. Congratulations ladies!
It was mentioned that the Hall had decided to replace the heavy, padded benches with new plastic lawn chairs. If you know of any start up church who could use these please let them know the Hall will be glad to donate these.
We tied out a few small quilts for June and Effie Lea this time. June mentioned she should have brought more with her!
Our next meeting is July 16th at the Hall for the main purpose of preparing the Sloppy Joe's for the Sock Hop. Look forward to your attendance and help!

OLD Business: Flea Market/Rummage Sale
Pat R purchased everything we needed (hot dogs, buns, etc.) from Safeway as they were having a GRAND OPENING Sale which saved a lot. Three members are scheduled to bring homemade chili for our food booth (Peggy, Ann & Brenda). We will need all the baked goods we can donate to help make this a success! Max will prepare all the ice we need. We could use some extra coolers. We will need some extra workers to help run the table and help with the food booth.
July 18th will be the Hall's Annual Car Show and Sock Hop
We will NOT provide any pie's for this event because the Hall will take care of this. We have been given permission to have a food booth during the day for the Car Show (ie: 10am - 5pm). It has been decided that we will provide Sloppy Joe's, and possibly coleslaw, along with a beverage and chips. Denise has a great recipe for Sloppy Joe's which will serve 96 people. We have plans to prepare this recipe during our July 16th meeting right here at the Hall. We will follow all the necessary food handlers rules and regulations! We will discuss whether we intend to include coleslaw with our Sloppy Joe's at this meeting as well. We were advised that we will get a discount if we purchase our supplies through the Cisco truck. It will cost us $75 again this year for the food booth and craft table. It was suggested that our members donate $2. toward hamburger. Discussion, motion made & Passed that our club will purchase the food for our food booth at the car show.
We have permission to use the Hall's BBQ to keep our food warm. Denise, Roberta & Peggy to get together on this.
The Elvis quilt is being worked on and should be done before long.

It was suggested the other's who volunteered to bring soup, etc. bring baked goods instead(cookies,cinnamon rolls, muffins, pies, etc.) for our Bake Sale table. Pat R. will get other food supplies needed plus drinks from Costco on her next trip to town.
Suggestion was made to do a silent auction for one of June's pie's. It was also suggested to set up some tables/chairs in a corner for people just wanting to eat and visit.
Food Costs: $4 - Hot dog/chips/drink $5 including chili $2 chili only
Kathy reported on the Hall meeting. Kathy asked if the women's club could provide the food during the Car Show(the Hall member's are providing refreshments the evening of the Sock Hop).
Kathy reserved four tables for the club and two on behalf of June to sell her pine baskets, etc. for the Flea Market May
We voted and passed a motion to give the Hall $120 per year towards the Hall's PUD bill or whatever, just as we've done for the priviledge of meeting in the community church in the past.
Angels: Nothing reported. Please let them know of anyone in need.
Effie Lea reported that 10 quilts were given to the Omak Hospital and can use more still. Four were given to the Omak Police Dept; six to DSHS.
June made a quilt which has already been given to Jon Wilson for using in his wheel chair. Effie Lea brought material to share that she cannot use.
"Circle" group will meet the first Thursday of each month at Brenda's home, 10-2pm, potluck lunch. Everyone is welcome!
Kristi reported Elvis quilt for the Sock Hop is laid out and waiting for material Ann will pick up April 17th. The quilt should be done soon! Plans for where to sell tickets were discussed.
Need:
Quilt bags are needed. We have extra material in our storage room at the Hall that may help in this effort. * It only takes approximately 1/2 yard, sewn up as you like a pillow case but open ended as you would sew a curtain valance so we can put a draw string in as a closure. The end product should not be any longer than 22".
Still need some items to go in these bags such as coloring books and pencils for kids(no crayons please). These bags are donated to the local Police Depts,to help kids in crisis.
Food Bank has a lot of rice, pinto beans, fruit leather available. Let Kristi know if you can use/need some.
Wauconda Ladies T-shirts are running low so it was suggested that we put in another order to have some on hand not only for us but for any new members. We requested a quote from the Kocol's:
Tee's: $ 9.50 - $12.50 (depending on size)
Sweatshirt's: $ 19 - $22 (depending on size)
The Kocol's have offered to waive the $75 setup fee for the Women's Club. We will need to order a minimum of eight shirts.
Motion was made/approved and an order has already been placed for several Tee's in medium and large size's.
Sock Hop: We need to present a menu to the Hall commiittee, and decide whether we want to have a Pie booth/Crafts table. Kristi, Roberta, Peggy, and Kathy to the meetings Denise has last year's menu proposal and she will make the presentation to the Hall. We need to be ready with the proposal by the Hall's May 4th meeting.
PayPal - passing, not sure we would get any interest.
Pat R suggested we begin with our Meeting's first since many member's cannot remain during the full four hour's. The meetings will begin at 10:15 sharp, with or without you! Anyone who is late will have to ask other's or can check it out on this web page.
NEXT MEETING: MAY 14TH, UPSTAIRS. Peggy officiating. We will be setting up for the Flea Market/Yard Sale. Please brings all your items to this meeting so we can have them sorted, setup, and priced for Saturday's sale. We need any donations you want to share. If you have personal items you want sold please put your name and price you expect for the items if you cannot attend the Flea Market Saturday. Please come and join in the fun for preparation of our 1st fund raiser.
We also want to thank Rocky Raybell for his help in creating our new web page (Ann is only the messenger).
