November Newsletter
October Meeting Report
The annual Pasta Cook-Off was held during the regular
monthly meeting on Tuesday, Oct 15th. The meal was
outstanding! Rather than 1 free membership for the
winning recipe, the group awarded a free membership to
Helen Saxon for her outstanding salad and a free
membership to Marty & Randy Martin, Buckingham
Bloomin' for their dessert pasta.
Discussions were held on the Annual New Year's Party
to be held in January. It was decided that we would
charge $5 per person to help defray the cost of the
meal. Also an Annual Awards Program was discussed.
Membership involvement was discussed and ways to get
new members interested in participation.

Defining the Problem
A big part of being organized is being able to define
the problem at hand. Just jumping right into a
solution, rarely works. There may be 12 different
solutions, but only one of those solutions will be the
very best one for you.
A problem that is clearly defined, is 50% solved!
