                                   JANUARY 2024--A NEW YEAR BEGINNING 

                                             FOR NOVELTY SR CITIZENS'

January 4, 2024 was the date for the monthly luncheon of the Novelty Senior Citizens’. (Diana had removed most of the Christmas decorations except for the tree.) Only Judith, Diana, and Marsha were present to eat and  conduct business: even the health nurse was absent, on this uncommonly warm day for January.  After the pledge was recited, Diana gave the blessing for the food.  Although not many there, we did have a nice meal.  The two January birthday celebrants were not present, so missed the pecan pie and strawberry cheesecake brought by Diana.

Business meeting began at 1:10 p.m. after Judith and Diana finished cleanup.  Marsha read the minutes to last meeting, Judith seconded—approved.  She also read the short report she had placed on her facebook page after the December 16^th Wreaths Across America ceremony.  Judith then gave the treasurer’s report.  Marsha seconded—approved with correction from last month. 

Unfinished business:  

1.   A couple months ago, Diana had inquired about our insurance coverage.  Judith has not yet made contact with the Knox Co. Mutual insurance agent to get that answer—she will try to do that this coming month.  

2.  The "thank you" note has not yet been published in the Edina Sentinel that Judith or Marsha has seen.  There WAS  a nice article about the ceremony, pictures with Liberty Leaders helping place wreaths at the cemetery, but no thank you--which was paid in December prior to the ceremony.  If not in this week's paper (it is late due to the holiday at the beginning of the week) Judith will check with them.  

3.  Marsha gave update on the Wreaths 2024 project.  She has ready to send in a list for 99 paid wreaths, which will be 198 wreaths altogether.  And there is one more week to go in the BOGO promotion from WAA.  When/if money comes in next week (Marsha will not be at coffee on Tuesday), Judith will get the money to her before the deadline so she can get it mailed to Maine on time.   

Meeting was adjourned.
