Minutes of Meeting for August 2, 2018
Call to Order: Bill E. led us in the Pledge and then we sang God Bless America. Throughout the meeting several people as well as 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 26 in attendance today.
- Vice President: Debbi S.: We are at 115 members.
- Secretary: Kristi G.: No corrections to the minutes and they were accepted.
- Treasurer: Walt R.: Walt reports $2,128.22 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.: No Mary today but Larry came in for just a few minutes and looked miraculously good after having neck surgery just 2 weeks ago. He wanted to thank everyone for their good wishes.
Sandy reported that Joan Travis called her to ask for our prayers for her nephew who is 40 and has had a severe stroke. Also, Joan will be in Tucson for a visit in November.
Sharon Simpson reports that Elaine H. is still not walking well and is still in need of our prayers.
· Historian: Magda Q.: No Magda, so no report.
· 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.
- Group Concerns/Good of the Group
- 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.
- Joanne Ross will have “Who’s Who” books the all the new people as well as Page 18 for anyone missing that one.
- Sharon Simpson reminded us again of the “Teeniors” classes at the Y on Magee, where students team up with Seniors to help them understand specific concerns using their electronic devices. It’s free to anyone. Check with Sharon for more information.
- Thought for the Day: Sandy P. Had a great thought for the day and cute joke.
- Adjournment: Bill E.: Bill adjourned the meeting at 10:05 AM.
