Novelty Senior Citizens met Thursday November 2, 2023 for the monthly luncheon. Nurse Rhonda was here to check blood pressures, but couldn’t stay to eat with us as the home health agency is quite busy right now. Kathryn gave the blessing for the food after the pledge was recited by all. Attending the luncheon were Barbara, Kathryn, Marsha, Judith, Edra, and Diana.
After cleanup, Diana opened the business meeting at 1:16 p.m. Marsha read the minutes from last month. Judith seconded her motion to approve them. Motion carried. Judith then gave the treasurer’s report (with the water bill not yet received). Kathryn moved to second her motion to approve. That motion also was approved as presented.
Business:
1. The thank you (window clings) we generally send out to those who purchased multiple wreaths have gone up in price (to $1.50 instead of $1.00). After discussion, Barbara made motion to simply send a thank you note, with no extra “gift”. Edra seconded. Motion passed. Hopefully Marsha will have these ready the day of the ceremony so Lynn can get them in the mail (she did this last year for us, with us providing all the necessary materials—thank you letters, envelopes, address labels, stamps.)
2. For the soup luncheon on November 11th, Judith has the veggie tray supplies, and cheese tray. Marsha will bring sweet pickles, and supply tea. Think that is about everything needed from last month and this month.
3. The center has received $XX in memorial gifts from the Browning family. We do thank them for designating the center as one of the donation places to receive monetary gifts in memory of Amogene.
4. Diana had a couple questions: A) Do we have liability insurance in case someone falls, etc. Judith will check into this as the insurance is paid in August of each year. It is through Knox County Mutual (and our agent is no longer Nena Palmer). B). As the wreath boxes will be heavier this year (12 wreaths in each instead of 9, and weighing about 40 pounds) perhaps we should look into getting a dolly to help get those boxes off the truck and into the center. Someone will check to see if we could perhaps borrow one (from Patrick, or perhaps CoOp) or just buy one. Diana will check on prices as well.
Yay! We will have birthdays for the December carry-in. Judith will make the cake. Coffee makers for the month will be November 7—Judith; 14th—Marsha; 21—Diana; 28th—Judith. Next carry in is December 7
