Minutes of Meeting for September 20, 2018
Call to Order: Bill E. led us in the Pledge and then we sang God Bless America. Bill then turned the meeting over to Barb and Susan.
- Hostesses: Barb L. and Susan D. Barb reported 38 in attendance today.
- Vice President: Debbi S.: We are at 118 members. Since we have so many new people, it would be great if everyone (myself included) would wear their name badges so we can get to know you by name. It was brought to my attention that so many aren’t wearing their badges so we kind of look at you with that blank stare that’s so prevalent in “older folks” when we know we are supposed to know you, but we can’t think of your name. Ya’ll know what I mean. 😊
- Secretary: Kristi G.: Minutes were accepted (I hope).
- Treasurer: Walt R.: I wasn’t there so I don’t know what’s in the bank. Please people, remember to put yourmoney 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 report but we should continue prayers for George, Elaine, and Gayle.
· Historian: Magda Q.: No report.
· 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.
- 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. No thoughts
- Adjournment: Bill E.: Bill adjourned the meeting at 9:58 AM and we then had birthday cake!
