November 5, 2020 saw the Novelty Senior Citizens’ meet for the monthly luncheon. Diana had put up Thanksgiving decorations for the month, reminding us to be thankful for all our blessings.
Diana led the pledge, then Kathryn gave the invocation. Present were Kathryn, Diana, Jim and Marsha, Judith, and Carolyn.
After clean-up by Diana and Judith, Diana brought the business meeting to order at 1:10. Minutes were read and approved. Treasurer’s report was given, and approved as presented. Judith paid Marsha for the advertisement listed below.
Unfinished business:
Wreaths Across America report: We have 249 wreaths purchased, with 7 more ready to be sent in: and two others have contacted that they wish to purchase. So not a bad year considering circumstances with the COVID-19 pandemic. Joyce is working on the ceremony, which is Dec ember 19, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. It was discussed to have those that are picking up their wreath might stay in their vehicle instead of coming into the center, and having “runners” bring them out; which would discourage having quite a number in our small center at one time.
The soup luncheon and bake sale will be on Saturday, November 14th here at the center. Serving between 11:00 a.m. -2:00 p.m. For a free will donation, you can get a bowl of soup, dessert, and drink. Volunteers were noted to bring various items for it or the bake sale.
An advertisement has been given to the Edina Sentinel for publication. Fliers will be given out to local places for advertisement as well.
A family has asked to rent the center for Thanksgiving.
Next monthly meeting is December 3. Judith will make the birthday pie for two regular attendees. Coffee makers for Tuesday mornings are Diana, Marsha, Judith, and Kathryn.
