MAY MONTHLY LUNCHEON

After a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Novelty Senior Center met Thursday, May 7, for the monthly luncheon. The Health dept was still on staff schedule of only half of them working each day, so were unable to come to check blood pressures, etc. Hopefully all will be back to “normal” next month. Diana led the pledge, and Jeff gave the blessing before “happy birthday” was sung to Denis and Marsha. Carolyn made a chocolate cake for the candles, and also a cherry cheesecake dessert to help in their celebrations.
birthday celebrants Marsha and Denis.
 
 Those present were Jeff and Leah Otto, Diana Cheatum, Denis and Dorothy Howard, Judith Rhoades, Marsha Pinson, Carolyn Morgret, Kathryn Wilkerson, and Terri Wilkerson. A delicious carry-in meal, with roast beef, fried chicken, spare ribs, chicken and dressing casserole, 3 offerings for deviled eggs, two pans of rolls, two pea and lettuce salads, plus more desserts than mentioned above! Several of us were thinking along the same lines!

After Terri and others managed the cleanup, a business meeting was held. Diana conducted the meeting.

Marsha read the minutes to the March meeting; Dorothy made a motion to approve them, Judith seconded, approved.

Judith gave the April and May treasurer's report; Carolyn made motion to approve, Dorothy seconded. Approved.
