May, 2025 monthly luncheon

Novelty Senior Citizens' met Thursday, May 1, 2025 for the monthly luncheon.  KCHD nurse Phyllis was there to take blood pressures (and also brought a cherry cheesecake to add to our meal).  Others present were Judith, Diana, and Marsha.

The pledge was recited by all, then Diana gave the blessing.  Happy birthday was sung to Marsha and she blew out one candle on the cake baked by Diana.  It was really tasty, with strawberries on top to decorate.  Although our meal was a bit short on vegetables, we did have plenty for the four of us to eat and enjoy. 

After clean-up, and Phyllis had left, Diana called the business meeting to order at 1:15 p.m.  Marsha read the minutes to last month's meeting.  Judith seconded her motion to approve.  Motion carried.

Judith then gave the treasurer's report.  Since it was the first day of the month, no bills had been received yet.  She did present her report however.  Marsha seconded her motion and it was approved as presented.

 Business:

1.  The tree that is west of the building, but on another's property, has been marked by the REC:  we assume it will at least be trimmed, if not completely cut down.  Depending on how much REC does, will  determine if we need to take more action so that our building and property do not have any damage.

2.  Diana has placed her garden flags on the railing along our ramp.  They look nice and show our appreciation for veterans in our community.

3.  The new Knox County WAA committee is planning on a fundraiser on Memorial Day.  It will be a fish fry in the 4-H pavilion in downtown Edina.  $10 per adult plate.  They have asked if any of our group could help with desserts.  Judith and Diana have said they would  

Marsha will make the birthday cake for June as we do have a birthday.  Coffee makers for the month of May are 6--Judith; 13--Diana; 20--Marsha; 27--Kathryn; June 3--Judith.  Next luncheon is June 5.  Anyone is eligible to attend and would be most welcomed!

Meeting adjourned at 2:00 with much conversation amongst the three.
