We met at the home of Mary Skillicorn.

Our leader, Mary Ellen, brought the meeting to order.

Mary Ellen opened with readings from Mary Oliver’s book, “New and Selected Poems�.

The minutes of last month’s meeting were approved as read.

Sunshine Cards will be sent to Sally Mitchell, Dorothy Ellis, Janis Smith, and Tamara Catto.

Treasurers Report: Diane Cooke reported that after the moneys earned from classes were dispensed as suggested at our last meeting, we still have a "cushion" for next year.

Old Business:

Fern brought some glass tumblers for us to see. She had bought three dozen for the church kitchen. The women present approved of her choice. She will be reimbursed from the Women’s Club treasury. Carol and Fern will go to the Corning Ware outlet store to check on dishes for the kitchen.
