Our hearts are saddened as we have learned of the death of Mildred Bragg. Mildred used to come to the morning coffees regularly, and enjoyed the monthly luncheons as well. And she sure loved her St. Louis Cardinals! Mildred celebrated her 100th birthday in April at her daughter's.
Our sympathy and condolences to her daughter, Karen Lumley, and her granddaughters, Stephanie and Stacie, and their families.
JULY, 2021
Novelty
Senior Citizens’ met Thursday, July 1, 2021 for the monthly luncheon. Decorations in the building were in keeping
with the Independence Day celebration.
Present were Denis & Dorothy , David, Judith,
Diana, Kathryn, Leah & Jeff, Marsha & Jim, and Carolyn.
Diana led
the pledge at 12:15, followed by prayer by Denis. No
birthdays were celebrated this month, however Dorothy had brought cupcakes as
the celebratory dessert. After the meal
and visiting, Kathryn and Leah did the clean-up.
At 1:20,
Diana called the business meeting to order.
Marsha read the minutes from last month’s meeting, and made the motion
to accept them. Carolyn 2nd, and motion passed. Judith then gave the treasurer’s report. Insurance on the building has been paid. Carolyn again 2nd the motion to
approve—passed.
Business:
WAA
project: 90 wreaths have been purchased,
with 84 on the BOGO promotion. One person
had given money to Judith for a wreath.
About $50 has been collected from the boot located in Casey’s. Nothing from the boot in Lucky’s so that will
be moved to The Blue Room or Sunoco. Kathryn has yet to get the boot to Cardwell’s. Business letters will be sent to area
businesses and others who have purchased in the past, and will be mailed in
August. Marsha gave Judith the letter to
make copies.
Judith had also paid the vendor fee for the Cornfest September WE hope to be in the same spot as in the past. A sign-up sheet will be available next month.
Since a
ceiling tile had come down (over the kitchen area) one day this past month,
Diana had purchased six to replace it and others that are
water-stained/bowed. She had placed one
in by herself; and today David placed two in:
he will do the rest of them at another time. It is too dangerous for us older people to get up on a ladder to do that.
Ronald
Rhoades has again been taking care of the mowing this year. We thank him for doing that!
Judith will
make the birthday cake for next month—August 5.
There are birthdays to celebrate that month!
FLAG DAY
June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress passed the Flag Resolution, which adopted the stars and stripes flag designed by Francis Hopkinson. This event is celebrated each year on June 14. So a very Happy Flag Day to each of you.
And a Happy 246th Birthday to the United States Army today on Flag Day!
June Luncheon, 2021
The Novelty Senior Center met Thursday June 3, 2021 for the monthly luncheon. Diana led the pledge, then Denis had the blessing. The birthday cake was made by Diana. Judith will celebrate her birthday this month, so happy birthday was sung to her. Others present were Kathryn, and Dorothy, besides those mentioned earlier.
Diana did the cleanup after the meal. She then called the business meeting to order at 1:05. Diana read the minutes to last month’s meeting, which had been left by Marsha. One correction—Lynn had not donated the Novelty paper to the Historical Society, just brought it to share. Minutes were approved as corrected.
Judith gave the treasurer’s report. Dorothy seconded her motion to approve. They were approved as presented.
Not much business. Marsha has taken the boots to Lucky’s Café and Casey’s in Edina for donations for the WAA project. Kathryn has a boot to take to Cardwell’s Lumber, but hasn’t yet taken it. Boots should be checked every week or so, and should be picked up if the business wishes them to be. We wanted to have them out definitely for the Memorial Day weekend.
A short number of people present, and a short meeting.
Next month, the luncheon will be on July 1. The birthday cake will be made by Dorothy. Coffee makers for the month will be Marsha, Diana, Judith, and Kathryn.
