AUGUST, 2024 LUNCH & BUSINESS MEETING

Novelty Senior Citizens’ met Thursday, August 1, 2024 for their monthly luncheon and meeting (even though we had not met in July).  It was a hot, hot day!   Shortly after noon, we repeated the pledge and Kathryn blessed the food.  Happy Birthday was then sung to Kathryn as she will celebrate later this month.  (Marsha had made the cake for her)  Those present were Judith, Carolyn, Kathryn, Diana, Marsha, and Jim came in late to eat as today was also the Greenley Center Field Day. 

Kathryn had the clean-up which was appreciated.  

At 1:25, President Diana called the meeting to order.  Marsha read the minutes to the June meeting; Carolyn seconded her motion to approve.  Motion approved.   Judith then gave the treasurer's report for both July and August.  Carolyn seconded her motion to approve the reports,  motion carried.

Business items:

1.     Earlier this week, David H. had stopped by and had replaced three of the ceiling tiles that had water stains on them.  It looks nice!  Thanks, David!

2.    Judith has paid for the booth spot at CornFest.  Same price as last year, and we assume in about the same spot. 

3.    Will we continue with the wreath project?  No decision was definitely made—Marsha’s letter to the editor was passed around for those who had not yet read it.  Marsha said she will not take care of the money next year, so if we don’t find anyone to do that, we will discontinue this project.  Also Joyce has said she will not help with the location (ceremony) part after this year.  

4.    Business letters will be sent out after CornFest for donations.  Plans had been to prepare the envelopes today, but Judith said she could get started on this at home. 

Coffee makers for the upcoming month are:  August 6—Judith; 13—Diana; 20—Kathryn;  27—Marsha; Sept 3—Diana.   Judith will make a “birthday” cake, although we don’t know of any birthdays.

By consensus, we adjourned at 2:05 p.m.

 If you read the last entry on this blog, you will know that we did not have a monthly luncheon/business meeting as the first Thursday was also July 4th.  August meeting will be August 1.  All are invited to attend--we generally eat at noon, with a nice carry-in luncheon.  Business meeting follows that.

 

                            JUNE 2024 LUNCHEON & MEETING

 

June 6, 2024 saw four ladies present for the monthly luncheon at the Novelty Senior Center—Diana, Judith, Marsha, and Rhonda (KCHD nurse).  After Rhonda had taken blood pressures, we all four enjoyed a nice carry-in meal.     Diana had led the pledge, then gave the invocation, followed by our rendition of “Happy Birthday” to Judith who will celebrate at the end of the month.  Candles were on the cake brought by Rhonda (although Diana had made muffins to celebrate.)

After cleanup by Diana, she called the business meeting to order at 1:04 p.m.            Marsha read the minutes from last month’s meeting—seconded by Judith, Approved.   Judith gave the treasurer’s report, seconded by Marsha.  Approved.

1.        Business discussed was the WAA project.  Marsha has written a tentative letter to the editor of our stopping this project.  Both Diana and Judith read it, and ok’ed it—but Marsha will not send it in until probably September, after the Cornfest.  Discussion also about sending out business letters in August. We will revise our list as many who have been receiving them do not respond, and perhaps add a few.

2.        We will again have a stand at the CornFest.  Judith will send it in whenever she receives the information.

3.        There will be no luncheon next month as that would be July 4^th.  So the next one will be August 1.  No birthdays in August, so no one assigned to make cake.                                                                                                                                Coffee makers for the next two months are  June 11^th—Judith; 18^th—Diana; 25^th—Kathryn; July 2^nd—Marsha; 9^th—Judith; 16-th—Diana; 23^rd—Kathryn; 30^th—Marsha.

 

Meeting adjourned at 2:40

 

                                     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.
