Eight women met in the friendship hall of the church on February 8 for a business meeting and Valentine’s Day Luncheon. Minutes of the December meeting were read and approved, treasurer report of $ 1337.37 in our bank account was approved, and Ruth R reported on our Christmas family. Ruth called Carla at Concern for Neighbors Food Bank in Mountlake Terrace, who requested 100 Easter Baskets this year. We are in need of more baskets to fill and small plush animals to put in the baskets we are encouraged to visit thrift shops and dollar stores to try to find these items.
Ruth also reported she attended a meeting where she met the new commander of Support 7 which was founded in 1981 by Ken Geydos who has spoken to our group several times in the past. (Sadly, he passed away a few years ago).
Festive decorations were provided by Kathy M and a lovely lunch was served by Kathy M, Ruth R and Jean G. Valentine candy and cookies were provided to each person attending.
A motion was passed to provide funding of up to $200 for items needed to fill the Easter Baskets. Since Easter falls on April 9 this year, we plan to meet in the Friendship Hall to put the baskets together at 10 AM on April 1. We invite anyone who is interested in helping with this project to come.
March meeting will be at the Pancake Haus in Edmonds at 12 noon on March 8. April meeting will again be at the church at 11:30 am on April 12 and we plan to have a speaker for that meeting. We hope everyone is well and able to come join us.
