We will meet at VFW Post #2995 (4330 148th Ave N.E., Redmond WA 98052). Social hour starts at 6 PM with business meeting at 7PM. Don't forget to review the previous meeting minutes, you can find them here on the blog or on the Seattle Base website, just click the Minutes button on the left.

We have a number of items on the agenda for this month:

There is revision to the Seattle Base bylaws that will be presented at the meeting for discussion and seconding and voting will occur at the January 2014 business meeting.

The 2014 National Calendar “The Boomers” is sold out nationally and Bill Giese, our Base SK still has a small number of calendars on hand. If you want one, he will have them at the base meeting. If you cannot make the meeting, email Bill to purchase. The calendars are $10.00 each, plus mailing cost if not picked up at the meeting. When they are gone, that will be it.

John Roberts has made tentative arrangements for a Kaps4Kids visit to Children’s Hospital. He will provide a brief presentation explaining the program at the meeting.
