1. Call to Order: The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance @ 9:30am. Iles announced that he had three business items to discuss: a.) There are nominees so far, for all officer positions and committee chairs. Nominations may still be submitted. Elections will take place on Oct. 22nd, providing there is a quorum. b.) Iles suggested that at the meeting on Oct. 29th, members may want to come in costume since it is the meeting before Halloween. c.) The Continental Ranch Yard sale will be taking place (date?) and Iles has some great deals.

Mary M. has suffered a stroke and based on information from her daughter, she will probably not be able to attend future meetings. She is currently at Health South Rm 106. c.) Jeanne read a card from Joan M.’s daughter thanking the group for the gift and the condolences. d.) Nancy proposed that members may want to arrange a method of communication by which the group would know if an individual is having a health problem. Larry L. stated that he does that by contacting members who have not been present for a while. This is actually a function of the V.P.’s office (as stated in the by-laws).
7. Historian: Magda: (absent).
8. Philanthropy: John Z. and Mike T.: (absent). Jim A. will make a run to the food bank today. He encouraged members to make donations since the holidays are coming up.

11. Group Concerns/Good of the Group: a.) Susan D. alerted members to the issue of vandalism on vehicles parked in driveways. Susan also has a child’s rocker which would be free to a good home. If interested, please contact her. b.) Jim also alerted members to the theft of checks occurring from unlocked mailboxes. c.) Iles shared with the group his unfortunate experience with a dermatological treatment to counteract skin cancer, resulting in a severe facial burn. d.) Linda A. thanked those who helped out while she and Jim were on vacation. e.) Larry L. suggested that he show slide pictures of SCRCR events and the group thought this was a good idea since not all members have access to a computer. f.)
