October Newsletter Highlights —
The upcoming November Meeting is a Business Meeting in which we will present the current status of the club. We will also be presenting the new Board slate we propose for 2019. There will be a call for nominations from the floor, and finally a vote for the proposed Board or an alternate line up if there is support from the floor for different slate of candidates.

One thing remains the same:
No Volunteers—No Club
This Club is run by Volunteers plain and simple. 

TVCUC Dues to Rise in 2019
TVCUC is raising the annual household membership dues next year to $20.00. The dues renewal timeframe for current members is 1 Oct 18 to 31 Dec 18.

New Logo • The TVCUC Logo Contest is concluded. The board chose the winning design, used in the header of this newsletter.

Note: The TVCUC General Meeting next month has been moved back one week from our normal schedule in deference to midterm voting at the Community Church. Our next general meeting is 13 November.

Tours • Members of the Club participated in the Proton Therapy Facility tour last month.
