TBCS General Meeting: Tuesday, November 15, 2005

Attendance: 151

Member Drawings - These drawings are for All Members who attend the meeting. Showing your current TBCS membership card entitles you to several drawings at each meeting. Those famous Blue Tickets!

C-Drive Drawing - Tickets for this drawing are given to anyone who donates to the community food pantries, either with staple food items or with monetary donations.  The drawing is open to anyone in attendance.

The "C" in C-Drive stands for cans. (That's not a secret !!)
Proceeds for the C-Drive Drawing were $19 and 15 staple food items.  Thank you, all of you who contributed. 

NAME TAG DRAWING --  To encourage attendees to get to know one another, we are encouraging everybody to wear some kind of name tag, originality encouraged!  Anyone, member or non-member, who wore a readable name tag or whatever, received a ticket for this new drawing.

Prizes for the above drawing included: two 6-in-1 Card readers, a USB "light," a Beach Ball, a "fancy" clock mounted on a mother board, and two free one-year subscriptions to

     Fine fun

Special Drawing - This drawing is a fund-raiser and a fun-raiser. Usually, several quality items are offered for this drawing, allowing the winner to choose from these. The drawing is open to anyone who attends the meeting, member or not.

Special Drawing: This month, the prizes chosen were: a 4-in-1 Phone system and a U-Lead Movie Factory 4.

50/50 Drawing - "50/50" means that the proceeds from ticket "donations" are divided between the winner and TBCS.

This month's winner received $47.00 and $47.00 went to TBCS.

Ink Cartridges and Cell Phones - Thank you to those who keep bringing in your empty ink cartridges and your no-longer-needed cell phones. A good number of these items come in continually. If possible, bring working chargers with the phones.  (We have a "home" for the cell phones, providing 911 assistance for battered spouses.)

Hey, hurry back!   See you at the December meeting, on the SECOND Tuesday evening.  It's election time again, and the meeting is one week earlier in December than other months.  That's on the 13th, this round.  Same time, same place.
