Minutes of Meeting of Aug 28, 2014
- Call to Order: Dorothy opened the meeting at 9:30am with the Pledge of Allegiance, and then shared some great jokes.
- Host/Hostess: Barb L.: Welcome back to Ed, Elaine, Donna, Walt and Alice K. We had two guests today: Pauline and Dave who shared a little information about themselves. Susan D. was not here due to health problems. She would prefer no phone calls at this time but cards and e-mails would be welcome.
- Vice-President: Larry L.: We have 101 active members and 3 inactive members. Larry is collecting for the Food Bank in Mike’s absence and deliveries will be made to them once a month. Carol A. thought this would be good since it would decrease the number of thank you letters we would receive from the Food Bank!

A motion was made and passed to take this action. b.) Jeanne reported that Alice B. had her last radiation treatment on Monday. She will be having blood transfusions and starting chemotherapy today. c.) Walt is feeling much better. d.) Ed is okay. e.)

Dorothy found an article in the paper from Tucson Medical Center requesting an artist to paint a mural on a wall at the Elder Care Center, if anyone is interested. b.) Regarding the request from Vi for drivers to help them get to doctor appointments approximately 5 days a week, she would like to hear from anyone who may be able to help. If any members know of someone who could assist Vi and Don, Vi can be contacted at Amber Lights (520-579-9698). c.) Lily Reminded us that Sandy’s grandson is making pizza at the Farmer’s market. d.) Edna wanted the group to know that the post office will install a mailbox in front of your house if you have a letter from your doctor indicating that you have a handicap. This letter needs to be delivered to the postmaster. Along with this information, Lily says that Waste Management will also pick up trash from your garage if they are notified of a handicap issue. e.) John D. shared information about new housing projected to go up on Pima Farms Road and how this was passed by the Marana Town Planning Board after some influence exerted by an attorney. F.)
