2.      Guest Speaker – Dalton Wilson spoke to us about the Opportunity Fund for Developing Countries (OFDC).  OFDC is an organization that empowers women, educates children and enhances health for all.  OFDC is currently focused on helping people in Kenya.  Dalton described some of the projects that OFDC has conducted and is planning to conduct, including building of latrines, fabrication of desks, and training of women on starting small businesses.  When asked what we can do to help, he suggested that we could provide OFDC a monetary donation.
3.      Service Update – Tim spoke briefly about meal preparation and serving at the Volunteers of America Youth Resource Center.  He needs no more than 10 volunteers, as space is limited.  He suggested members could make a side dish or dessert ahead of the 2/28 event.  Tim will solicit help via email. 
Dave C. introduced an idea for a March service project involving one-on-one listening to (and writing down) seniors’ life stories at an assisted living facility.  Dave will send out more thoughts on the project shortly.  He is targeting March 14 or March 28.
Rose reported that the planned service project for April is House of Hope (Mother’s Day gift prep), May is the Burrito Project (feed the homeless) and June will be at Hope Lodge (prepare dinner).
4.      Social Update – Erica reminded us of the combined business meeting and social at her house on 2/21 at 5:30 p.m.  The social part is Bonco.  She also said Shannon will be hosting a snowshoeing outing on March 2.
