June 4,
2020, the Novelty Senior Citizens’ met for the monthly luncheon. Present were Denis and Dorothy Howard, Diana
Cheatum, Judith Rhoades, Marsha Pinson, and Carolyn Morgret.
Diana led
the Pledge of Allegiance, and Denis gave the opening prayer. The health department was busy, packing up
for their move to the new building on Monday.
Hopefully they can make it next month.
Happy Birthday was sung to Judith as her birthday is the end of the month. Carolyn had made the cake for her.
Happy Birthday Judith!!!!
At 1:30, Diana opened the business meeting after cleanup from lunch. Marsha read the minutes which were approved as corrected. Judith gave the treasurer’s report which was also approved as presented.
Business:
Ronald
Rhoades has been mowing the yard. We
appreciate his work for us.
Other
business included discussion of a new air conditioner. The one we have is very old and noisy, and we
are sure it is not energy efficient. We
had talked last year of replacing it, but found that the new ones would most
likely not fit in the wall space that this one does without a lot of work. Marsha had looked online for stand-alone air
conditioners., primarily from Sam’s Club.
No difficult installation is needed as it vents through a window and can
be moved to storage in the winter time.
Motion made and approved to purchase one similar to this from Sam’s
Club. Diana is a member, so she will get
it there (price reflected had to be a Sam’s club member).
Although
Hurdland has decided to go ahead with their Independence Day celebration, we
will not participate, as last year they instigated a “vendor’s fee” for anyone
who sets up….and we had not been making enough to make it worth our time to do that. We are still selling wreaths for $15 per
wreath. Deadline is October 31. We will sell wreaths at the Corn Fest in
Edina in September. Plans are to send a
letter to businesses during July/August.
Coffee
makers for the next month are June 9—Diana; 16—Judith; 23—Marsha; 30—Kathryn. Diana will bake the birthday cake for the July
luncheon, even though we do not know of any birthdays during that month. That luncheon will be July 2.
Judith made
motion to adjourn at 2:05.
