Monthly Meeting
Wednesday, December 12, 8 pm, in the Social Hall.
Menu – Italian beef sandwiches, chips, etc.
This year we decided to forgo the Christmas auction and donate to the local families from our funds. Considering the savings by not bidding on the auction items we will accept donations that night. This event is open to everyone – friends, families, etc. We will be having a short meeting at 7 pm.
Bob Nowak
As you all know Bob Nowak passed away on November 12th. His passing is devastating to his family, friends and all that knew him. His passing will also be felt by the St. Matthew’s Men’s Club. Bob was a long-term member and was always willing to go above and beyond the call of duty.

Dennis is stepping down heading up the manger scene project. The set-up will be December 15th, the take-down will be January 12th. Dennis will help with the set-up this year but is handing off the project moving forward. Dennis starts around 9am and it takes a couple hours.
