September 2024 luncheon and Business Meeting

Novelty Senior Citizens’ met Thursday, Sept 5, 2024 for the monthly luncheon and business meeting.  Present were Phyllis (KCHD nurse) Carolyn, Diana, Judith, and Marsha.  Kathryn had sent part of her birthday cake for our dessert as she had celebrated a week ago.  The opening prayer was given by Phyllis, and the pledge was repeated by all present.  Beef roast, bbq pork, chicken & rice were the entrees today; Kathryn’s decorated birthday cake and pineapple angel food cake were the desserts.  A “treat” from long ago—banana splits—was also enjoyed:  all in all a wonderful meal to share.

After Diana’s cleanup, the business meeting began at 1:24.  Marsha read the minutes from last month’s meeting.  Carolyn seconded, and they were approved as presented.  Judith then gave the treasurer’s report with Carolyn seconding this motion as well, and that report was also approved as presented. 

Business items:

1.    Judith has been notified by Christy Riekeberg that we are in space #1 at the Cornfest this weekend.  Larry  Clark will have the tent (canopy) put up Saturday morning.  We will only be only for that day.

2.     Carolyn will put WAA flyers out at several stores in Edina.

3.    Marsha made the motion to officially terminated the Wreaths Across America project after this season.  Judith seconded the motion.  No one has volunteered to continue the project in the county as of yet.  She will send the letter to the editor of the Edina Sentinel in October to let the communities know that the project is ending  (with us) on December 14, 2024. 

4.    As of this date, we have sold 262 wreaths with 162 “free” ones.  We still have Cornfest and the donations Larry will collect from the Catholic Church in Edina.

5.    No birthdays next month:  the luncheon will be October 3.  Coffee makers for the month are:  10—Kathryn; 16—Marsha; 24—Diana; Oct 1—Judith.
