OCTOBER 2020 MONTHLY LUNCHEON
The Novelty Senior Citizens’ met Thursday, October 1 to celebrate the beginning of the month with their carry-in luncheon. Phyllis Whitlatch of the KCHD was there to take blood pressures. She also gave us the tentative time of the flu clinic (drive-through), depending on the availability/receipt of the serum.
No birthday celebrants were present, but we did think of Jeff Otto as he celebrates this month. The Pledge was repeated by everyone, and Denis gave the blessing for the food. Judith Rhoades, Denis and Dorothy Howard, Diana Cheatum (and “Punkin”), Kathryn Wilkerson, Carolyn Morgret, Jim and Marsha Pinson were there to enjoy the meal prepared by everyone: a couple of mac & cheese, and several desserts along the chocolate variety, as well as a no bake pumpkin pie were among dishes prepared.
At 1:30, Diana called the business meeting to order. The minutes from last month were read and approved, and had also been published in the Sentinel. The treasurer presented the financial statement and it also was approved.
Marsha gave a report on the WAA project. 148 wreaths have been purchased, and 78 additional ones were purchased when the promotion was BOGO. There are nine additional wreaths that have not yet been sent in. Only this month to purchase one, so if you haven’t already done so……………. Again, the ceremony will be Saturday, December 19, 2020 at the Novelty Christian Church, 11:00 a.m. Joyce Simpson is in charge of organizing that ceremony.
New business included the motion to again have our deer hunter opening day soup luncheon. Judith made motion that yes, we have it again, along with a bake sale. Marsha seconded, passed. Although final plans will be made next month, we will have 4 soups: chili, potato, pizza, and ham and beans. Dessert will also be furnished for a free will donation.
