Discussion and Action:
Financials: Looking good, will give 2 drink tickets to each member attending the Christmas Party.
Membership: Will focus on categories to add to the group next year.
We are still looking for nominations for the board next year.
Guests: Bob Goss brought his wife Enne to breakfast to help him with his Craft Talk this morning.
Our board will be seeking nominations next week through December, if you feel like you have a great candidate that is willing to serve for 1 year on the board, please verify that they are willing and if they are, nominate them. We are doing a big push for the position of President and Vice President. If you are interested in filling one of the positions, you can self-nominate.
The Christmas Party is held the first Tuesday of December at 6:00 pm. at the El Paso Club. The sign-up is being passed every week for the next two weeks. Please make sure to get your name on the list! We have great food and lots of fun!
Keep your eyes out for the sign-up for the 2026 Craft Talk sign-up sheet. I’ll bring it for a couple of weeks until I get it posted on our Sign-Up Genius link. The first several weeks of the year are available, grab a slot by calling Karen Heun at 719-660-3787.
We have several categories to fill in the group but our most recent is for an eye doctor. If you know any best-in-class candidates for the group, please invite them to a meeting.
Let’s grow! If you know someone who owns a business whose category is not currently represented in the group, invite them to breakfast. We are always looking for best in class companies who would be an asset to the group.

Nick West missed the meeting today due to medical reasons. The board acknowledged the absence.
Nine letters were sent to members with the most violations for attendance according to the bylaws. Each one responded favorably. Will continue to monitor. The board will start monitoring fresh next year and each quarter will be evaluated individually.
We are still looking for nominations for the board next year.
Our condolences go out to Karole Campbell & her father Paul for the loss of their mother and wife. Paul was a faithful member of our group for years. The Prospectors have been invited to her memorial service which will be held in Chipita Park at Marcroft Hall on October 25th from 1-4 p.m. The address is: 9105 Chipita Park Rd, Cascade, CO 80809.
