The Novelty Senior Citizens met Thursday, September 3, 2020, for the monthly luncheon. Present were Jim and Marsha Pinson, Denis and Dorothy Howard, Kathryn Wilkerson, Terri Wilkerson, Judith Rhoades, and Carolyn Morgret. Shirley Ives of the Knox County Health Department was present to take blood pressures, etc. and also had some masks, provided by the health department to share with us.
Judith had made a cake roll for the birthdays, but no one present had/will celebrate this month. Denis gave the blessing for the food after the pledge was recited.
Terri and Judith did clean-up after the meal, then vice-president Kathryn brought the business meeting to order. Minutes to the last month's meeting were read by Marsha and approved. Judith gave the treasurer's report. We had had a $5 credit on our electric bill, which was given as a 'door prize' at the annual REC meeting. Judith also had a correction to last month's treasurer's report, which was noted. Marsha had a bill for the thank you window clings to be given to purchasers of several wreaths.
The Knox County CornFest has been completely canceled: So far donations are short for the wreaths project.
The WAA ceremony will be December 19, 2020 at the Novelty Christian Church, with wreaths placed at the Novelty cemetery afterward. Wreaths purchased for specific graves/cemeteries may be picked up at the Novelty Senior Center immediately after the ceremony, about 11:30 a.m. that day. Wreaths may also still be purchased from the center until October 31.
Marsha will make the birthday cake for the next luncheon on October 1. Coffee makers for each Tuesday of the month will be Marsha, Diana, Judith, and Kathryn.
Meeting adjourned.
