Minutes of Meeting for October 12, 2017

 Minutes of Meeting for October 12, 2017


  1. Call to Order:   Bill E. called the meeting to order, led us in the Pledge of Allegiance and the singing of God Bless America.  He then turned it over to Sandy who introduced Deborah and Lorraine who gave a very informative talk about Medicare and insurance supplements.  They also passed out information to fill out and send in to them for an appointment if you wish.  As an aside and from personal experience with these women, they really, really know what they are talking about and they saved me a lot of money on my prescriptions last year. 
  2. Hostesses:  Barb L. and Susan D.  Barb counted 50 folks today.
  3. Vice President:  Still 117 members.
