We had planned to visit Lark Brewing this week, but in a Facebook post last week they shared that they have had to temporarily close due to a COVID exposure.  The word of 2020 is pivot and that is what the Program Committee did.  We will now gather at Dad's Pub, the old Vick's, for fellowship and fun before the holiday. 

This past week Robin Summers joined us from Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois.  She shared with us how Girl Scouts provides girls in Kindergarten and Twelfth grade invaluable experiences for recreation, connection, life skills, leadership, and entrepreneurship. They have had to make some adaptations this year due to the pandemic, but have provided camp kits to girls, virtual and in person meetings, and have worked with some schools so that the program can be provided during the day.  Girl Scouts also does community outreach and provides financial assistance to girls who have barriers to participation . We thank Robin for her presentation and for what she does to provide valuable experiences to girls in our community.
