Minutes of Meeting for November 1, 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 and Susan report 50 in attendance today. We welcomed back Don and Kate Harner, and Adria. Also, Darlene became a member and brought her husband Steve to join us. Welcome all!
Bill then turned the meeting over to our Mayor Ed Honea. Mayor Honea gave a great, informative talk for most of the meeting and answered some very pointed questions.
- Vice President: Debbi S.: We are at 119 members.
- Secretary: Kristi G.:
- Treasurer: Walt R.: No report, we didn’t get this far because of the length of the meeting. 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 report, no time.
· 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 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
- Susan told us all to be on the alert for rattlesnakes. Her neighbors had 2 in their yard, a 5 footer and a 6 footer….YUCK! Be careful folks.
- A reminder of who collects what. Sandy and Tony Padilla have medical supplies such as wheel chairs, walkers, etc., that they have when needed. Sandy also collects the box tops for teachers and you will find on tons of packaged products. Magda collects the pull tabs from cans for Ronald McDonald House. Dennis collects the empty pill bottles for the PACC for medications for the animals as they are adopted out. Kristi collects bottle caps of all kinds, clean egg cartons (unless Julie and Wally run out of them), empty toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls for the Treasures for Teachers.
