Remember, as Greeter this week, you need to arrive early at Oliver's to register visiting Rotarians and guests (collect guest lunch fee of $16.00). You also provide the pre-meal prayer, check attendance, announce guests and visiting Rotarians, manage the marble drawing and provide "Fun & Frolics." If you are unable to fulfill your greeter obligation, please contact the next person in the greeter rotation to take your place.
 
Stories
Club Happenings:
The previous Spinning Wheel is still very relevant in regard to the club schedule, so I am leaving it in place.  A couple of additions are first Friday celebrations coming up.     The Santa Hut should be on the square by the time you receive this message so the decorations committee can touch up the decor.  The Elf Hut will be in the Christmas parade so we will need volunteers to decorate it and march or ride in the parade.
CLUB UPDATES
 
We have so much going on as a club. Below is a list (because, let’s be honest, I like lists) along with additional information, registration pages, email addresses, etc. 

 Friday, November 25: The return of TAG DAYS during Lighting of the Square. Volunteers needed from approximately 6:00-7:15pm. Supplies can be picked-up and dropped-off at the Offices of Frisbie and Lohmeyer Insurance (131 Washington Street). Please reach out to Luke (luke@frisbielohmeyer.com) or Laura (lscullotta@gmail.com) for more information and to volunteer!

Giving Tuesday, November 29: We will be soliciting donations for this extremely important day. Studio D Jewelers has again generously provided a matching donation of up to $3000, so please help us get those funds in!

Thursday, December 1: Rotary + Red Cross Blood / Book Drive. Rotary Club of Woodstock will host a community blood drive with the American Red Cross from 12pm to 5pm at McHenry County Fairgrounds. We need donations of both blood and books (that sounds weird). For more information or to make an appointment to donate, call 1-800-733-2767 or sign up online at redcrossblood.org with sponsor code WOODSTOCK ROTARY. Need more granular information? Email Mimi (motroni@sbcglobal.net). 

Thursday, December 1: Woodstock's Ladies Night Out. This has been a fun night for our Rotarians to gather, shop, laugh, libate! No official organizer at this point, but more information and tickets can be found here. 

Friday, December 2: FIRST FRIDAY at 5:00! Luke and Kent are kind enough to host us at their office. They will provide snacks, music, and ambiance; they ask that you please supply your favorite beverage(s) of choice. Spouses, significant others, partners are also welcome! 

Friday, December 2 – Friday, December 23: Santa will need Elves to volunteer at The Hut! Weeknights, volunteers are needed 4:30-7:30 and on weekends, we need volunteers 1:00-5:00. There will of course be a sign-up for volunteers, but for now if you need more details / information, please reach out to one of our three Premier Santas, Chris Cantwell himself (details02@sbcglobal.net). Our other two amazing Santas are Dave Byrnes and Al Schmitt. 

Wednesday, December 7: District Holiday Party at Chandler's Chophouse in Schaumburg. Festivities start at 6 pm. Buy your tickets and read about the event here. 

No specified date, just important information: Need Jeep Raffle tickets BEFORE the holidays? Looking to sell a few during Thanksgiving festivities? Please talk to Tom McGrath. You can send him an email at mcgrathtw@icloud.com to request tickets.
Country Boy Outdoors Report:  The Sandhills are flying south so that means winter weather is here as if we needed a reminder.  The Tuesday morning white blanket was reminder enough.  Frozen bird baths are a reminder to break out the heaters and plug them in.  Full bird feeders would be appreciated by our feathered friends.  A reminder that hunting season is currently in progress so walking in the woods one should wear blaze orange.  Dress warm for the weather and enjoy the beauty of a walk in the snowy woods.
