Members are to call Dorothy if they are unable to attend no later than that the Friday
before the monthly meeting date. If you do not call, it will be assumed that you are attending and you will be
billed for those meetings in which the standard meal fee is charged. The meetings have a meal charge,
which is meant to cover the cost of the host’s chosen menu and beverages. We hope that, in some cases,
there will be extra money leftover for our service projects.
If you are unable to attend due to last minute circumstances, you will be billed for that meeting.
Exception: Please contact Dorothy or Peggy for the President’s dinner by August 16th. We need a close count so
that we have adequate food and refreshments.

The requests from our nurses can be large or small -- from a Pack and Play portable crib for safe sleeping which is $40.00 -- to developmental toys such as snap beads for $5.00. Many of the items listed below are $10.00 or less. A donation of these items will bridge the gap in the life of our clients: Urgently Needed: $20 Cub Food Cards Other items include board books, pharmacy card (Walgreen's), baby/toddler clothes, bus cards, diapers, wooden puzzles, and bath towels If you are able to purchase any of these items please drop them off at MVNA. Through community funds, in-kind donations and grants, MVNA Volunteer Services is able to bridge barriers faced by our clients by providing needed non-medical items. These items, along with the care from our nurses, create an environment of supporting health and independence for the clients.

If any of you have any ideas for a service project that would help women in our community, please tell Judy, Lauraine or Pat. Another idea that we might be interested in doing is putting together a "birthday cake kit" for distribution to families whose members are having a birthday, but who are not able to afford the makings of a birthday cake. Romelle is gathering information on this project for us. We are planning on having another fleece blanket making project on November 25th at Carole’s party room, and putting together our Holiday gift bags for MVNA in late November/early December.

If you haven't please contact Peggy. Our theme for the 2008 President's Dinner will be the Celebrate St. Paul Zonta and Minnesota's Sesquicentennial! The invitation will include directions to Peggy's. We hope that everyone will be able to attend and will invite friends and family who have an interest in Zonta and who may be prospective members. Cost will be $20 and will go toward our convention fund.
