Minutes of Meeting of April 14, 2016

1. Call to Order: Iles :  In Iles absence, and Larry’s absence, and finally Carol’s absence, Kristi opened the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a rousing version of God Bless America.  This was a great suggestion by Dorie and one I think we should do every week after the Pledge.  I guess we need to vote on that but I’m all for it.  Dorie also graciously jumped in and took the secretary notes for me as I kinda had my hands full with other “stuff” – a big THANK YOU DORIE!!  (You did so good, you could be secretary next year J) I told a couple of corny jokes and introduced the “birthday kids”, of which we only had two there but that’s okay – more cake for the rest J  Poor Iles missed out on his “corner piece” with extra frosting L
2. Host/Hostess:  Barb L. and Susan D.:   Still no Susan sad to say but hopefully she will return soon.  Barb has done an outstanding job in welcoming more new members and we will be happy to have them “saddle up” and join us J  We had two new folks this week from Michigan – Dan and Pam.  Also Pedro and his lovely wife returned for the 2^nd week (I think we have them “hooked” folksJ).  Barb, as well as all of us, was glad to see that Paul Boch was here after the loss of his dear Joan.  We are here for you Paul.

2. Sunshine:  Sandy P. and Alice K.:  Sandy said that Jeanne was able to sleep through the night for the first time in a long time since her surgery – YIPPEE!!  Nothing like a good night’s sleep right?  Dorothy G. is still gathering her strength back.  It’s a long haul back from pneumonia folks so take good care of yourselves.  Also our dear Susan is working hard to get better too.  Our thoughts and prayers to all.
