6.3 Philanthropy: Betty: We will be packing for the military after the meeting. She asked once again for addresses, only having four at present. (P.S. After the meeting, fourteen boxes were packed, including repacking a returned box. That one was from a grandson of Lew and Agnes who had been based in Kuwait and, although it had been marked “Chaplain distribute if not delivered”, it had not been opened.)
6.4 Activities: Alice B.: Absent. See the attached agenda for events in the next few weeks.
7. Group Concerns: (a) Joan reiterated her request for volunteers for an election committee to elect SCRCR officers for the 2010 year. Having served for the last three years, she and Lew want a break. She shall chair the group; Alice, Jorge, and Linda D. form the committee. ….. (b) We were reminded that, on Oct-29, the owner of Papa Murphy’s Pizza (Tony) is going to present us with another pizza-sampling at no cost, although any donations will go to Road Runner School. Lynn had suggested that we pass a basket around. ….. (c) John Lambert told us about some of the problems left by the former management company and introduced the new manager Dale De Men. John and Dale mentioned that they would be looking for volunteers to sort the files – a big job. They were assured that SCRCR would provide adequate help and that was received with thanks. When he was asked about the construction on Twin Peaks at Safeway and Walgreen’s, John remarked that they were probably traffic lights in preparation for the increase in traffic when the Twin Peaks Road extension is completed. ….. (d) Sandy proposed that we help a class of special needs children that she attends in school. Gladys suggested that Sandy give a more detailed list of what is desired and JoAnne remarked that Halloween would be a good time to present them with the supplies. A motion was passed unanimously. ….. (e) Janet reminded us that today (Oct 15) is White Cane Day and explained its derivation. She told us the aims of her blind persons group and handed out some tri-fold pamphlets. ….. (f) Bo repeated some of the information regarding water pressure regulators. His was replaced and they now have about 50 PSI in the house. He also mentioned that if you are tired of picking up pods, a variety called Chilean Mesquite has none.
8. Adjournment: 10:12 AM.
