Minutes of Meeting for October 4, 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 40 in attendance today. We welcomed back Val and Rich, Jim and Linda and Dorie and John from the “Great White North” country. Good to have to you all back!!!
NOTE: Now that Val is back, she’ll be taking pictures next week of all our new members so new members put on your “Sunday best” and smile for Val’s camera please 😊
- Vice President: Debbi S.: We are at 116 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.
- Treasurer: Walt R.: Walt reports there is $1,809.03 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.: Unfortunately, Alice Rigney fell again, and she is back in the rehab facility, so they can help her with her balance. I telephoned Nancy Weiss today to say hi and she is feeling better and hopefully will be coming to the meeting next week. Let’s keep Nancy and Alice in our prayers.
· 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.

- Thought for the Day: Sandy P. Debbi gave us the thought and the joke today. The thought is “To err is human….to blame it on someone else shows management potential.”
Joke: A little girl asked her mother how did the human race appear? Her Mom answered, “God made Adam and Eve and they had children and so all mankind was made.” Two day later the little girl asked her Dad the same question and he answered, “Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.” The confused little girl returned to her Mom and said “Mom, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?” The Mother answered, “Well dear, it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family and your Father told you about his.”
- Adjournment: Bill E.: Bill adjourned the meeting at 1009 AM.
