Multiple electronic resources currently being used in the classroom were demonstrated including Nearpod, Remind, Marqueed, Wikispaces, Prezi, iTunes U, Socrative, and Edmodo.

Member updates were given, including information on several members with illness or special needs. The members of the Personal Growth Committee were reminded that the selection of the Red Rose recipient for this year must be completed by the fifteenth of the month. Additionally, Grant- in-Aid recommendations need to be completed by the twentieth. Janet informed us that the Meridian ADK chapter has accepted our invitation to attend one of our meetings and will join us at the Courthouse Annex in February. They have issued a reciprocal invitation to their scholarship tea in May. A reminder of the Leadership Management Seminar was given with more information to follow soon. Cheryl read a letter of resignation from Teresa Mikell which was regretfully accepted by the membership.
