Drop at the November Meeting
Annual Coin Drop
- We will be holding our annual coin drop this year to determine
which charities we will be supporting with the proceeds of our

October meeting. A table will be set up with boxes representing
each nominated charity (nominations were collected at the September
meeting). Simply put your change into the box representing the
charity that you would like to support. The 5 boxes with the highest
amount of money in them will be the charities that will receive
the proceeds from the auction. Each charity will also receive

bring it in the month of your birthday so we can be sure there
are prizes at each meeting, but they can be brought any month.
There is no set price and they are presented anonymously, unless
it was a donation from a business or organization.
