Our first meeting of the 2025-2026 Club Year! Today is Ruth Hartley’s 102nd birthday. Happy Birthday, Ruth! It is also the day we celebrate our past Club Presidents, Ruth Hartley and Susan DeVoss. Our speaker, Abby Harlan will tell us all about Medical Mutts, an organization that trains service dogs and, should the client prefer, trains owner’s own dogs as service dogs. All dogs chosen to be trained by Medical Mutts are rescue dogs. (I think Abby might be bringing a four-legged guest to our meeting.)

Today’s program will be dedicated to finance. David Roth from the Royal Bank of Canada and Liz Allison, WDC’S accountant will discuss our Club’s financial situation and answer questions you might have regarding your very own monetary picture.

William Kmitta, of the Cicero Police will be our presenter. William can answer many of our questions about local law enforcement and also promises to  share information on personal safety, e.g., when in a parking lot after dark) and how to help friends in trouble.

Our annual Christmas Tea! Just as we did in 2023, we will entertain ourselves. Caroling? Gift exchange? Stories? The only sure thing is that we will have FUN!

No meeting.

Enjoy watching artist Cynthia Young experiment with media, color combinations, and techniques used to create one of her paintings, giving them a look of spontaneity.

WDC’s very own Angie Obergfell will answer any questions gardening-challenged members may have about their own gardens, how to design new gardens, and tell us about her personal gardening service.
