Minutes of Meeting for May 4, 2017
- Call to Order: Bill E. led us in the Pledge of Allegiance and Dorie led us in singing God Bless America. Bill then gave the reins to Whitney from North West Hospital who introduced us to Felicitas Ebunoha who is a nurse practioner who gave a really great talk on high blood pressure. Felicitas took a lot of questions and then Whitney took questions about the deal with North West and United Healthcare. Bill then turned the meeting to Barb and Susan and when they were done, he told a couple of cute jokes and we began the meeting.

a. Sunshine: Dorie Z.: Dorie reports that she and John are leaving next week for Wisconsin for the summer – you two will be missed!! Sandy P., will take over Sunshine duties for the summer. I spoke with Elaine and she is wearing a heart monitor as the doctor suspects that is what is causing her to fall. We’ll have to keep updated on that. Elaine and Ed, we miss you both!

· Rich B. warned us of another computer scam out there folks – DO NOT CLICK on anything that says Google doc!
· Just a quick note from me before I leave on vacation. It was kinda funny when I came here I missed all my friends back “home”. Now that I’m going back “home”, I’ll be missing all of you, my new friends and my new “home”. Anyhow, I’ll see you all on June 15th! Please everyone stay well and happy :-)
