  1. Coordinators’ Reports:
    • Sunshine:  Dorie Z.:   Sandy is making a wonderful recovery and doing well.  She’s very appreciative of all the cards, calls and most of all prayers.  Gladys had to have some more surgery this week and at this writing, I’m waiting to hear how things went.  We really must put those prayers into “overdrive” for Gladys, she has been through so much.  Janet K. is back at Handmakers and recouping nicely from her broken femur.  Paul B. told us that at his last check-up, he is cancer free!!!  That is wonderful news Paul, we are all so happy for you!!!I spoke with June this evening and she is settling in very nicely in Boise.  She is with her son and daughter-in-law, but will be looking at assisted living facilities soon.  She is feeling much better out there so that’s a good thing!  Still miss her though. ☹  Dorie thanked everyone for their prayers. 
    • Historian:  Magda Q.:    No report.
    • Philanthropy:  John Z.:   No report but John has submitted a list of charities for us to discuss.

  2. Group Concerns/Good of the Group
  • Sandy and Tony have a nice walker with a seat on it that needs a home.  If anyone needs a walker, please contact them.
