MONTHLY LUNCHEON--Sep 1, 2022

 On September 1, 2022, the monthly luncheon was held at the Novelty Senior Citizens’ building in downtown Novelty.  For the first time in 23 months, the public health nurse from the KCHD, Rhonda Penfield, came to take blood pressures for all attending, and also stayed to enjoy lunch with us.  Present were Edra, Diana, Judith, Jim and Marsha.  (After eating, Rhonda took two carry-out meals to Betty and Gerald Perry.)  Although a fewer number were present, we still had a good lunch and visiting. 

At 1:10, Diana called our business meeting to order.  Marsha read the minutes from the past two months, and both were accepted as presented.  Judith gave the treasurer’s report, which was also accepted as presented. 

Business items mentioned/conducted were:

1.     Cornfest is Sept 10^th.  We are assuming the site for our WAA booth is the same as it has been in the past; although as of now, we haven’t heard definitely.   A sign-up sheet was passed around for volunteer workers at the booth in 2-hour increments.  As few were here, not all slots were filled, but as in the past, Judith and Marsha generally spend the whole day there.  Judith will get there early enough to set up Saturday morning.  Plans are for the booth to open around 9:00, which is before the parade starts.

2.    Marsha has sent in more wreaths, money from our letters sent out in August. 

3.    We signed a birthday card to Helen Pulse, who will turn 90 September 6.  She had decided she couldn’t make it to the luncheon today. 

4.    Marsha will bake the birthday cake for October.  Coffee makers for this month are 6^th—Marsha; 13^th—Judith; 20^th—Diana; 27^th—Kathryn; Oct 4—Judith.

Judith made the motion to adjourn.
