Next Meeting: For the meeting of Thanksgiving Week we are visiting the Riverdale Optimist Club, on Tuesday, November 25, and there will be no meeting at Shiloh Grille on that day. The meeting is at the Masonic Temple. The Masonic Temple is at 525 W. Riverview (between Salem and Main), but the parking lot is off of Belmonte Park North, which runs off of W. Riverview. The parking is in the back of the building, and you will enter the building in the back, from the parking lot. The meeting is in the basement. There is usually an attendant inside the entrance to direct you.

Meeting of November 18: The speaker was Nick Naas, with a presentation on the safety program at Cargill. He gave a fascinating insight into the challenge of providing a safe environment in a plant that employs about 450 locally, and 140,000 globally. He spoke about concepts such as risk mitigation, injury management, and focusing on potentially serious injury/fatality situations. he described how Cargill has been a leader in industry in approaching safety from new perspectives and providing a safe environment through education and promoting a mindset that emphasizes safety.

Christmas Sharing Update: The Denny Mantel Christmas Sharing project is set for Saturday, December 13. Members and volunteers will meet at the Kroger store on Needmore Road at 10:30 AM to buy groceries to distribute to some needy families. (See more on the Christmas Sharing page under "Activites" - an event flyer can be downloaded from that page).  After the groceries are delivered, club members and volunteers are invited to meet at The Shiloh Grille, 5515 N. Main St., for lunch and post event socializing, beginning around Noon.  As announced previously, Cargill will again be supporting our event with a donation of $1050 which will allow us to provide groceries for six additional families (for a total of twenty six). Thanks, Cargill! 
Polar Bear Fund: At the November 18 meeting, Mike Gorman reported on recent activity by the Northridge School District "Polar Bear fund". Mike serves as our club representative on the advisory committee for this fund, (assisted by Rhonda Clemens and Bill Davidson). Many thanks to Mike for his diligent efforts. A full report and update will be posted on this site soon.
