         WE MEET AGAIN!!!!!

September 2, 2021 saw the Novelty Senior Citizens’ meet for the monthly luncheon.  Present were Kathryn, Judith, Diana, Carolyn, Jim and Marsha.  Pledge was recited by all, and blessing was prayed by Kathryn.  No birthdays this month.

At 1:20 p.m.  Diana brought the business meeting to order.  Marsha read the minutes to last month’s meeting and asked for them to be approved.  Carolyn seconded that motion, and they were approved as read.   Judith gave the monthly financial statement.  A nice amount of money was received as memorials for Mildred Bragg.  We also had money received from the WAA kickback.  In expenses, Bobbi Clark, CPA, had filed for us with the Sec. of State as a non-profit.  Plus we had a whole 83 cents of interest on our CD account!   She asked that it be approved as presented.  Kathryn 2nd her motion and the treasurer’s report was approved as presented.

In old/unfinished business:

 1.  Marsha reported that Tuesday Sep 7 was the National Flag Waving in Remembrance of 9/11.  This is sponsored by the WAA.  In keeping with the 20-year tradition of waving our American flags on Tuesday, please step outside and wave yours with pride!  

2. She also reported that as of September 1, we have 159 2/3 wreaths sent in and paid for.  84 2/3 wreaths will arrive free due to the "bogo" promotion in January.  She also has money for 3 wreaths not yet sent in. 

3.  Marsha also had communicated with the health department and with the increase (again) in COVID cases and being a bit short-handed, they were unable to come to the luncheon to take blood pressures.  Nurse Phyllis has recently had open-heart surgery and is slowly recovering from that, and would appreciate prayers.

4.  Carolyn noted that the blood mobile will be Sept. 13 at the Community Center.  Diana also usually volunteers at this event. 

5.  A work schedule was sent around to help out at the CornFest booth on Saturday, September 11.  Only 3 signed up to do this. 

6.  Kathryn had talked with Leah:  they will be leaving to winter in Florida before our next luncheon.  She’d also talked with Freda, who has been making trips to St. Louis for medical treatment.

7.   Next luncheon will be October 7, and Marsha will bake the cake.  Coffee makers for the month will be Marsha, Diana, Judith, Kathryn, and Marsha.
