Minutes of Meeting for July 6, 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 Barb and Susan. Bill told some really great jokes.
- Hostesses: Susan D. and Barb L. Barb counted 37 members in attendance again today. Pretty good for a terribly hot summer! We welcomed back Iles, Carol, Billy, Pam and Dan, and Magda and Armando.
- Vice-President: Debbi S.: Debbi reports we still have 113 members.
- Secretary: Kristi G.: The minutes for the June 29th meeting were approved. Kristi said we received a thank you letter received from the Center Against Domestic Abuse for our Christmas gift. “Better late than never” folks.
- Treasurer: Walt R.: No Walt so I’m thinking we still have a total of $2,281.34, with $14.65 in petty cash or Walt and Joanne are having a really nice time in Minnesota on us 😊 Let’s try to remember to put our 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.
- Coordinators’ Reports:
a. Sunshine: Sandy P.: Sandy reports that Gladys P. had to have emergency laser surgery on her eyes because of her glaucoma. The good news is that Gladys is fine, the laser surgery worked and she can see well. Thank you God!
b. Historian: Magda Q.: No history report BUT we are slacking on the pull tabs folks – we really need to start drinking – not hard with this heat!
c. Philanthropy: Jorge A.: Jorge reminded us to bring food and money for the food bank. It is greatly needed.
d. Hiking: Jim A.: No report as the hiking is over until fall
e. Activities: Pam M.: See activities list below
f. Thought of the Day: Sandy gave us a great thought for the day and a couple of great jokes she had gotten from Iles at the end of the meeting.
- Group Concerns/Good of the Group
- Edna C. asked the group if they would like to go to Arizona Opry on Valentine’s Day since Hooter’s is gone. It was unanimous that yes, we would like to go to Arizona Opry for a variety show on Wednesday, February 14, 2018. Edna will call out there and start to make the arrangements. Thank you Edna!!!
- Sharon S. volunteers with the group Literacy Connects which is a group that reads to children. They need volunteers and this sounds like it would be a fun thing to do and it would certainly help the children.
- With this hot weather, there’s nothing better than ice cream in any form and Barb W. tells us that Wendy’s is selling their small “Frostees” for only 50 cents, now that’s a bargain 😊
- Sadly Patty H. will be leaving us in August. She is moving and has a queen size bedroom set for sale as well as an all wood dining room hutch, some wood chairs, a coffee table, an end table, two sofas and some pictures. Give Patty a call if you are interested. I know we all wish her well on her move!
- A big thank you to Marie for her great job in taking care of reminders for the birthdays as well as getting the birthday cakes – THANKS Marie – it is much appreciated.
- And last but not least, if I didn’t say it before, a great big thank you to Cynthia and Debbi for getting the minutes out while I was on vacation. THANKS girls – much appreciated.
- Adjournment: Bill E. The meeting ended at 10:09 AM.
