President Bob Noble called the meeting to order at 10 am at the First Christian Church Hall. The last month’s minutes were accepted as published in the 
newsletter.

Treasurer Susan Norton’s reported “we still have money,” specifically $1,170.01 in our checking account and $6,496.97 in our money market account. Major 
expenditures for the past year included $935 in subsidies for club events and $1,500 in donations (including what we give the church for use of its hall). 
Income was approximately equal to expenses. The treasurer’s report was accepted as read. 

Membership reported many renewing members and four guests this month.

Marilyn Pearson and Alicia Adcock were recognized for preparing the coffee and refreshments. 

In an announcement that dismayed members, Jan Curtis said that Things to Do magazine had folded due to business considerations. We will sorely miss Jan’s 
presence at meetings and wish her success in her next chapter. 

Jan had brought generous prizes for her final raffle: four Village Inn meals, a $35 gift certificate from Studio eight Salon, a $25 gift certificate from Moroccan Village, and a $20 gift certificate from Talk of the Town Antique Mall. 

We will be soliciting ideas on how best to continue our monthly raffles.
