Less than two months!!!!

October's Bright Blue Weather!!!

On Thursday, October 3, 2019, four members of the Knox County Health Department came to the Novelty Senior Center to hold a flu clinic. The clinic was from 12:00-1:30 p.m. A good number of residents came to take advantage of having the clinic in our town. It was also the day of the monthly regular luncheon. The center was decorated for fall with a few Halloween decorations added in. Those staying and enjoying the meal were Ronald and Shirley Rhoades, Judith Rhoades, Kathryn Wilkerson, Dorothy & Denis Howard, Sue Ahern, Jim & Marsha Pinson, Helen Pulse, Gerald & Betty Perry.

Dorothy had baked the apple cake, but no one present had a birthday this month. We do wish Jeff Otto a happy birthday later this month. Judith and Sue did the cleanup.

Kathryn called the business meeting to order at 1:30. Marsha read the minutes for last month, for which Judith had taken notes. They were approved as read. Judith then gave the treasurer's report which was corrected and approved.

Business items:

1. The soup luncheon will be Saturday, November 16, 2019: 11:00-2:00 p.m. for a free-will donation. Four kinds of soup will be served. Marsha will make potato soup and pizza soup, Diana will make chili, and Carolyn will make cheesy vegetable. Judith will supply a relish tray and crackers. Helen will bring shredded cheese (for the pizza soup). Desserts will be furnished by Dorothy, Sue, Barbara, Judith, Donna Faye, Diana. A bake sale will also be held in conjunction with the luncheon. So come and enjoy lunch on the first day of firearms deer season! 
2. WAA project: At this time we have exceeded the number of  wreaths we had last year! Marsha has money for 19 more ready to send in, and will have some more. Deadline for money is October 30, 2019 so we can get them all ordered in time for delivery in December. The ceremony will be Saturday, December 14, 11:00 a.m. at the Novelty Christian Church, with all invited to attend.
   
3. Carolyn had sent down calendars for 2020 from Hudson-Rimer.
4. Marsha will make a cake for November birthdays. Coffee makers for October were assigned.

   And flowers of June together,
   Ye cannot rival for one hour
   October's bright blue weather"
