Please join us for the November RWC Meeting!  We're wrapping PJ's for charity and voting on the city gift.  Read on for details....

RWC is November 27th at 7:00pm at the home of Carolyn Horne - 4828 Timberline Drive.  Please remember to bring PJs to wrap! (new only, pj's sizes 0-16, no flannel, no "mommy loves me," etc, no scary images)  Feel free to bring solid color wrapping paper if you like.  And if you are unable to make the meeting, there is a collection box at city hall for PJs or you can leave them at Carolyn's house.

Also, we will be voting on our monetary gift to the city.  This year, we have one request from Barry Bone that we fund a portion of the new landscaping design for city hall. We will have more specifics at the meeting but it will make our voting easy!!  Please note the brief review of parliamentarian procedure below for the meeting.  Melissa Morrow will be there to help keep the meeting in order - thanks Melissa!
____________________________________________
At the November Rollingwood Women’s Club meeting we will be presenting and voting on the projects we would like to fund for the coming year.  We will use basic parliamentary procedure to structure our vote and discussion.

The fundamental concepts of parliamentary procedure are courtesy to all, one item at a time, majority rule, and respect for the rights of the minority.

All members are eligible for making motions and to vote on motions.

The essentials of making a motion go like this:

• At the appropriate time the member requests to be recognized by the President.
• President recognizes the member.
• Member makes a motion.
• Motion is seconded.
• President recognizes members to discuss the motion: Discussion/ Debate
• Possible amendments to the motion are made.
• President restates amendment/s and asks for a vote on the amendment/s.
• Amendment/s Pass, Amendment/s Fail
• President restates the motion and asks for a vote on the motion
• Motion passes/ Motion Fails

A Fantastic 4th of July Parade and Picnic

Thank you to all who participated in our spectacular 4th of July Parade and Picnic in the Park! A special thanks goes out to the organizers of this year's events: Jaime Medina (Chair), Tamara Stillman, Marissa Mireur, Marnie Fitzgerald and their husbands! Additional thanks to all those volunteers who helped set up, clean up, sell food and drinks, distribute flags and judge our contests. We could not have done it without you!

We hope you got to sample some of those fantastic Homemade Apple Pies! The judges had a tough time, but agreed to award Marissa Mireur with Best Traditional pie and Laila & Jordan Scott with Best Unusual Pie (apple/jalapeno with a cheddar crust, YUM!)

The winners of our Best Decorated Bike Contest worked hard to make their vehicles sparkle! 1st Place to Mace Massingill, 2nd Place to Paxton Braden, and 3rd Place to Eva Sanderson. Great work kiddos!

Please take a minute to check out the party pix under the EVENTS tab. Thank you Shanti for documenting our events!

NOTE: for those who are interested in buying a Rollingwood 4th of July t-shirt, we are placing a second-run order. Please email Marnie Fitzgerald at marnie.m.fitzgerald@gmail.com to request a size. Any left over shirts will be available at the RWC Wine and Cheese Kick-off Party in August.
