SHRIMP & JAZZ FESTIVAL
Thirteen of members were on hand Saturday, October 8th for the festival. We had a good number of visitors and did very well given the festival only ran the one day. Brisk sales in brooms, water and soda as well as Coupon Books for local restaurants, etc to feed our Administrative account.

Eight members of our club joined twomembers of the Community Coalition of Little River (CCLR) November 12th to pick up litter along Highway 17 from Dunkin Donuts to Baker Street at the Post Office.

OUR JANUARY MEETINGS
Our last meeting at Vereen Gardens was January 17th with 16 members and three guests attending.. We were pleased to have Kris Tourtelotte of the Veterans Welcome Center arrive to thank us for our donation. We were also honored to have DG Marion Schroll from Kansas 17-i and his wife Sandie as visitors. DG Marion told us a bit about his area and how much they enjoed Little River.Our annual Pasta Dinner at Little River Methodist Church Life Care Center on January 13th was our most successful ever with about 288 attending. We did learn we will need to re-think a few things to accomodate that many people at the next dinner. We will be meeting at 6:30 PM at Horry Restaurant on Hwy. 9 in Longs starting February 7th.
