MAY 2024 LUNCHEON

A few of the Novelty Senior Citizens’ met Thursday, May 2, 2024 for the monthly luncheon.  Judith, Diana, and Marsha, along with Rhonda, the KCHD nurse were the only ones there.  The Pledge of Allegiance was recited, and Diana gave the prayer.  Happy Birthday was sung to Marsha who will celebrate her birthday in a few days.  Since there were few here, the food was a bit scarce—only one meat, one vegetable salad, and three desserts; one being a very tasty strawberry “poke” cake made by Judith for the birthday celebrant. 

At 1:20, Diana called the business meeting to order after cleanup.  Marsha read the minutes to the last meeting, which were seconded by Judith and approved.  Judith gave the treasurer’s report, seconded by Marsha, and approved. The Health Dept  had put painted rocks in various communities:  we had found one at our door, so we received $5.00 for taking it in!

Unfinished business and other items:

1.     WAA—do we want to continue this project.  Marsha said we need to decide prior to the ceremony in December—if we don’t do it, then we’ll need to tell the people then.  We are all getting older!  We’ve had several say they’d be “glad to help”, but we need some in the lead roles—planning the ceremony, and the year-long job of selling wreaths, keeping track of them, etc.   Nothing was decided for sure, we’ll discuss it again at a later meeting.  Marsha will try to write a “letter to the editor” in the summer/early fall about our decision and perhaps seeing if any other organization wants to take on the project.

Kathryn came in during this discussion for awhile, and Barbara also came to the door, but did not stay.  Kathryn left before the meeting was adjourned. 

Diana will make the cake for June 6’s carry-in.  Coffee makers for the month are Diana, Judith, Kathryn, Marsha, Marsha.
