The Novelty Senior Citizens met for
their monthly luncheon on Thursday, April 5, 2018 at the Center.
Although it was April, it sure didn't feel much like it: it's been
cool and cloudy nearly all week (5” of snow on Easter Sunday),
with
snow in the forecast for this weekend as well. Nurse Sherry
Goodwin
came for the blood pressures and gave information on an exercise
class to be held at the KCCC one day a week until June for
balance...a good class for senior citizens!
The meal consisted of some of the
leftover sausage, biscuits, gravy, and fruit salad from the
breakfast
fundraiser held last Saturday. The birthday cake, an angel food
cake, was also from the Bake Sale that day. Marsha had brought
strawberries and Reddi-whip to top the cake. No birthday
celebrants
were present. Kathryn led the pledge to the
flag, and Dorothy gave the invocation. Others present were Denis
Howard, Judith Rhoades, Sue Ahern, Helen Pulse, and Marsha Pinson.
After the meal and cleanup, Kathryn
conducted the business meeting of the group. Marsha read the
minutes
to last month's meeting and they were approved as read. Judith
gave
the treasurer's report and it was also approved as presented. A
couple of people have offered their services to help with the
Wreaths
Across America project, which we are grateful for all help.
Business:
-
Kathryn will contact someone about needed repair work to the center.
-
Marsha made a motion to allow Judith to purchase several cards (box?) to have at the center. Alvie Parrish is still in the hospital, in rehab, and celebrates his 83 birthday April 21. Helen Cheatum will celebrate her 90 birthday on April 16, Mildred Bragg will celebrate her birthday on the 18th. .
-
Joyce Simpson is the location coordinator for Wreaths Across America project. She is in contact with the national organization.
-
A bit disappointed in the turnout of the breakfast Saturday. Should we change the date (it is always the day before Easter)? Cancel it altogether? We will decide later about the breakfast.
-
Birthdays were added for the year into Judith's notebook.
-
Next month's cake will be made by Dorothy. Coffee makers are assigned for the month.
-
Helen moved to adjourn. Dorothy seconded. Meeting adjourned.
