Oktoberfest IV
In attendance were:
Nancy & Jeff Hix, Sue & Spence Schmidt,
Virginia & Hans von Helms, Linda Kowalczyk,
 Ann & George Schmidt,  Andrea & Pat Perry, Sharon Bufton
At this meeting: Pumpkin
  • Andrea brought a place mat from England featuring the Cotswold's that she found in a Rummage Sale garbage bin.
  • Wayward member Glen Hechler notified us that he hasn't shown up to meetings as he has moved to Maryland. But he sends his love and, God Bless Him, his money.
  • Ticket sales for our Adam Binder Faerie Raffle have been somewhat disappointing. We are blaming Adam because of his NO SHOW at the HOL Signing Tour.
  • OOOOOOpppps!!!!! A big, big thing we were supposed to do at our September meeting was nominate new Officers. We all slapped ourselves on the wrists for being so forgetful. There will be a Two week deadline for members to e-mail their choices. (George will send out a mass e-mail to our Rank & File right away.......yeah, right). We will choose new Officers at our November meeting. Members must be present to vote. 
  • We are waiting for some kind of book thing that says something about us being an Official Charitable Trust kind of thing.
  • At the December Holiday Meeting we will tally up and send our charities for this year their loot.
  • We decided to apply for a debit card for our Bank account so we can set up an Ebay charity account
  • Leanna Baron (HOP Person) says HMW will get a Peter's Portrait to use for charity.
  • Not only our we Whimsical, Silly,  & Obnoxious, but now also Hungry.
  • Nancy added to our vast culinary experience by bringing German Mocha Sticks.
  • Much to his chagrin, Jeff has been nominated our Annual Harvest Person, (How's that for politically correct?) due solely to the fact that he showed up last.
  • George is done with his second wave of eating and is eager to see Jeff crowned.
  • Show & Tell: 
    1. Sue & Spence brought their Adam Binder HOL piece (Which he wasn't around to sign).
    2. Andrea brought a David Frykman Polar Bear.
  • Adam Binder has re-carved his SIAB faeries, added something inside, and added a snail to each. Martin will release these only in the UK, separate from Harmony Ball, and they will be made in China.
  • Pat & Andrea still have Ladybug & Bumble Bee Pins for $5.00 each. If your interested, contact them by CLICKIN' HERE
  • Linda never got a Mocha Stick as Jeff ate the last one.
  • More Leftover HBC Crap was passed around as gifts. JOY!
  • Our Chinese Raffle was a huge success!!! Between the Timeless Treasures, Batman Movie (featuring the only real Batman....Adam West), Coffee, Shaking Hamster, HBC Rings, and Nancy's NEW BOOK, load's of fun was had by all.
  • Door Prize Time:
    1. The now infamous Cotswold's Place Mat: Jeff Hix
    2. Harbor Light's Key Chain: Sharon Bufton
    3. Harbor Light's Sweat Shirt- Medium: Andrea ("What am I going to do with this") Perry 
    4. Cow Parade "Udderly Groovy": George Schmidt
  • Jeff is still not thrilled about his Harvest Person Award and we said if he keeps it up, he wouldn't get "Miss Congeniality". To which Pat added, "And we don't want to see the Swimsuit Competition, either".
  • Then we discussed everyone taking home 6 inches.............of the sandwich, that is.
  • Next meeting will be November 11, 2001 - 3-6pm at Fin-Alley Gifts
  • Thanks to our Helping Hands Coordinator Pat Perry for taking these pictures, because George forgot his camera (the putz).
