Dear SSOC members, The month of October was our best month EVER for donations to our THREE charities! We actually made donations to Spartanburg Humane Society, St. Luke's Free Medical Clinic, AND Safe Homes Rape Crisis Coalition! Yes, this is the first month that we have actually delivered goods and/or money to each organization I am so excited to tell you that our monthly raffles and donation box, as well as some individual donations, brought in $550 for St. Luke's. Each of us on the board would like to extend a big THANK YOU to everyone that helped us achieve this record breaking month. Awesome Good Job!!!!! Joy Social at Alpine Ski Center Sunday, November 11 1-4 pm 30 Orchard Park Drive (near Haywood Mall) Alpine Ski Center in Greenville is our local ski shop. Our club is partnering with our friends in the Palmetto Ski Club to hold a social at Alpine. Mike Bopp, Palmettos race director is making a tasty chili with fixings for us. Water is provided and you can bring your own alcohol. I will ask for a head count at our November 1 meeting so Mike knows how much chili to make. This event is for skiers, non skiers and prospective members. There will be special Alpine prices for us and this is a good time to drop your skis off for a tune up or new wax. Our club will have a display table and we hope to attract new members. See you there, Mark Page 5

It is hard to believe but Christmas is right around the corner. Keeping this in mind we are going to begin collecting Christmas items for Safe Homes. We are collecting new toys and items for infants, children and ladies that are staying in the house. If you would purchase it for your family it is most likely something that would be appreciated by the residents. We only have two meetings to collect a sleigh full of toys, so let's get busy! I will also have a great raffle item at the November wine tasting meeting. You don't want to miss this one! Joy Hmmmmmmm so, what do I want to get rid of this year???? Everybody probably gets something for Christmas from someone that may or may not be an oh, wow - just what I wanted gift! So, WHEN you do, consider bringing it to our Holiday Party on December 29 th. We will have a re gifting swap this year for those wishing to participate. Make sure it is wrapped and when it is picked & someone opens it, try not to show too much pleasure knowing it is out of your hands - OR, you may give yourself away! If you don t get any presents, or if they are all good then you ll just have to go through your junk drawers & closets or make a trip to the Dollar General- Ho Ho Hardy Ho Ho! Alison Page 8
