Old Business:
The ice cream social at the nursing home in Bowling Green was a success, and Eunice and Catherine recently went to visit one of the ladies who had been in the audience. Eunice brought her a St. Peter’s mug with flowers.
Barbara mentioned that the group had prepared a care package for a local lady and a basket for Oliver Fortune who was recovering from surgery.
New Business:
