Minutes of Meeting for August 16, 2018
Call to Order: Bill E. led us in the Pledge and then we sang God Bless America. Throughout the meeting, Bill shared some great jokes. People, please feel free to volunteer funnies anytime to keep the group laughing. Bill then turned the meeting over to Barb.
- Hostesses: Barb L. and Susan D. Barb reported 28 in attendance today. Barbara welcomed back our dear Edna, and Barbara Jordan who we haven’t seen in a while and hooray, Sharon Johnson did join our merry band. We know she’ll bring a lot of sunshine with her to our meetings.
- Vice President: Debbi S.: We are at 117 members.
- Secretary: Kristi G.: No corrections to the minutes and they were accepted.
- Treasurer: Walt R.: Walt reports $2,042.22 in the bank. 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.
- Coordinators’ Reports:
Sunshine: Mary M.: Mary had no report, which is good news, but Elaine H. is still in need of our prayers.
· Historian: Magda Q.: No report, but she is still collecting pull tabs from cans for Ronald McDonald House.
· Philanthropy: No report today.
· 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.
- Group Concerns/Good of the Group
- Bill would like us to start thinking about different charities that we want to donate to at Christmas time and get those charities emailed to John Zimmerman when he gets back here. Then get your votes for “Member of the Year” to Jorge Anda when he comes back.
- I found out about the shoes for Jim and Linda’s granddaughter Chris. She is collecting them to raise funds for her soccer team. You can call her directly at 520.873.8270 for her to pick up or bring them to The Station for the next 2 Thursdays only, as the drive is over September 5th and I’ll collect them and get them to her. They are taking new and gently used shoes, boots, any kind, any size and they send them to South America and Africa where they again, are put to good use in fund raising.
- Joanne Ross will have “Who’s Who” books the all the new people as well as Page 18 for anyone missing that one.
- Dennis Foster put out there that he is collecting your empty pill bottles for the Pima Animal Care facility. They need them to give out to folks who may adopt or foster dogs/cats who may need medication when they leave their facility.
- Thought for the Day: Sandy P. Sandy had a great thought and joke for the day, but unfortunately, I can’t find what I did with the thought of the day, but the joke of the day was…Wouldn’t you love to say this to someone - “Wipe your mouth, there’s still a tiny bit of bullshit around your lips”.
- Adjournment: Bill E.: Bill adjourned the meeting at 9:57 AM.
