June 2019--all is well in Novelty!

Novelty Senior Citizens' met Thursday, June 6, for the monthly luncheon. Attending were Judith Rhoades, Jim & Marsha Pinson, Helen Pulse, Dorothy & Denis Howard, Kathryn Wilkerson, Diana Cheatum, Jeff & Leah Otto, Ronald & Shirley Rhoades. County Health nurse Sherry Goodwin took blood pressures, etc for the group. Diana had made an angel food cake with strawberry topping for the birthday cake, and also brought an anniversary cake for Denis & Dorothy who celebrated their 50^th wedding anniversary on June 7. Pledge was recited by all, and blessing was given by Jeff. 

Anniversary celebrant Dorothy and                birthday celebrant Judith!

After cleanup was finished by Leah, Kathryn, and Diana, the business meeting was called to order. Marsha read the minutes from last month: Helen made motion to approve them, Judith 2^nd. Passed unanimously. Judith then gave the treasurer's report.   She had had to go back a few months to make sure that her books and the bank statement correlated, but found the error and corrected it. It too was approved as presented.
