Deb Smith, BPW President chaired the committee for the meeting. Annie Sonner from the Darke County Women’s Shelter answered questions from members about the shelter. Club members donated items for the shelter. Items brought and needed by the shelter are Tide w/ Bleach, Downy, diapers of all sizes, and garbage bags. In addition, items were donated for a special Darke County family in need.

The ‘Super Raffle’ drawing was held. Winner of the 11 quart food processor donated by KitchenAid was Vicki Cost. Jan Smith’s name was drawn for both the diamond necklace donated by Wieland’s Jewelers and tickets to a Versailles Winery ‘Thrill of the Grill for 2’. Elizabeth Shields won the “mani, pedi, facial” package from Mae’s Beauty Salon. A big thanks to all the sponsors who donated prizes. Proceeds are used for scholarships for the young women of Darke County.

Members then wrapped presents for the Breakfast with Santa event which was held on Saturday, December 12th.
