Minutes of Meeting for May 31, 2018

  1. Call to Order:   Debbi S.  led us in the Pledge and then we sang God Bless America.  Deb then turned the meeting over to Iles who gave us a very interesting talk about an electronic healthcare system called a Bemer.  It helps with so many different things like aches, pains, etc.  If you are interested further, please contact Iles Winder. 
  2. Hostesses:  Barb L. and Susan D.  Barbara and Susan report 43 in attendance today.
  3. Vice President:   Debbi S.:  Debbi reports we have 111 members.
  4. Secretary:   Kristi G.:   No corrections to the minutes and they were accepted.
  5. Treasurer:  Walt R.:   Walt reports $2,266.45 in the bank.   WE WERE SHORT 4.00 THIS WEEK.  Please people, remember to put your money in the pot for coffee “and”.  It’s $2.00 for a cup of coffee which includes all refills; $1.00 for sweets.Thanks much. 
  6. Coordinators’ Reports:
Sunshine:  Mary M.:  Mary was happy to report that all is well, no illnesses.
·         Historian:  Magda Q.:   No report, but she thanked everyone for the tabs for Ronald McDonald house. 
·         Philanthropy:    No report.
·         Activities:  See activities listed below.  Note:  When you sign up for an activity, please let whoever oversees that activity know whether or not you’ll make it.  It’s embarrassing if you tell a place that 30 or 40 folks are coming to a function, so they set up for that, get extra help for that and then only 20 or so show up.    Please remember to RSVP if you are going to attend something and to let the person in charge know if you can’t make it.  Thanks.

  1. Group Concerns/Good of the Group
  • Just want to throw a quick note in here that DisPose-A-Med is on Saturday, June 9, in front of the Target at Thornydale and Ina.  I’m working it so if you would like, just bring in your old prescriptions, (The Feds only allow us to take pills and capsules) and I’ll take them from you the Thursday before June 7th.    You can take liquids, creams, etc., across the street to the Walgreens.  They will take them.
  • Please start thinking about our June food drive for the Marana Police Department.  We’ll be collecting all the foodstuffs on Thursday, June 14th to be taken right over to the police department after the meeting.  All food donations are most heartily accepted, and they really appreciate things like power bars and all that healthy kind of “stuff” along with the usual cookies, etc.   They always, always appreciate whatever they get!
  • There was a great time had by all that attended the Gaslight theater last Thursday.  Lots of laughs and everyone that went enjoyed the dinner at Cheddar’s restaurant.  They said the food and the prices were great.

  1. Thought for the Day:  Sandy P.  Sandy and Tony had to leave early so no thought for the day or joke.
  2. Adjournment:  Bill E.: Debbi adjourned the meeting at 10:14 AM.
