Minutes of Meeting for August 30, 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 and SUSAN!
- Hostesses: Barb L. and Susan D. Barb reported 28 in attendance today and welcomed back her co-hostess Susan who was on a nice summer vacation ALL SUMMER long. Barbara also welcomed back Dorie and Steve Kraft and Bill and Lauri Briscoe. We miss you all when you aren’t here! Welcome “home” 😊. We also had a new lovely lady join us this morning, Marion Davis who we hope will become a member. Welcome Marion.
- 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 $2,006.22 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 told us that Gayle Cocker had her having hip surgery and it went well. Let’s put the prayers in action for a speedy, pain-free recovery for Gayle. We should please continue prayers for Elaine as well.
· Historian: Magda Q.: No report, but she is still collecting pull tabs from cans for Ronald McDonald House. We need to fill 10 jars by the end of March 2019 and she’s just finishing off the 4th one so please drink up folks!😊
· 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
- Julie and Wally raise chickens so they are going to bring in fresh eggs for us in two weeks. If you want to buy some fresh eggs, bring in some empty egg cartons. Any monies received for the eggs, Julie and Wally are donating to the Food Bank! Let’s hear it for them! That’s a lovely gesture and just think of it folks, fresh eggs and you’ll be helping a worthy cause.
IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT JULIE TOLD A GREAT JOKE THAT JUST BEGGED TO BE SHARED!
A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. 'Careful,' he said, 'CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!'
The wife stared at him. 'What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?' The husband calmly replied, 'I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving.'
- 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.
- Joanne Ross still has the “Who’s Who” books for the all the new people as well as Page 18 for anyone missing that one. Val Roberts will take pictures of all the new folks upon her and Rich’s return.
- 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. Great thought….
“People may not always tell you how they feel about you, but they will always show you. Pay attention.”
“There is more money spent on boob jobs and Viagra than in Alzheimer’s research which means by the year 2040, the elderly will have perky boobs and stiff willies but have no idea why.”
- Adjournment: Bill E.: Bill adjourned the meeting at 9:57 AM.
