Again, we thank Linda H for all her hard work in preparing for awards day. We know she loves it and it shows.
Linda shared a portion of a letter from Sylvia, our Area Coordinator. She said TOPS International said chapters did not have to hold elections this year but they can if they choose to do so. She said we are already six months into the year, ask yourself how you are doing so far?
Linda H reminded us we will hold elections next week. Please turn in your “willingness to serve list” to Linda if you have not done so. Judy B will have the program and the tasting dish next week.
Marble game: Judy B won the right to draw and she got the winning marble. She won $33.50. Congratulations Judy B.
Warren had the tasting dish today. He served us Seafood Salad cucumber cups. They were very yummy. He got the recipe from the TOPS Website under menu plans.
Linda Hall read us some information on Apple Cider Vinegar. It can be a good thing but too much can cause some side effects. Thank you, Linda, for your research on this.
We sang Happy Birthday to Linda C. She will celebrate her birthday on July 4.
Juda and Fred W will celebrate a wedding anniversary on the 4th as well.
With no other business meeting was adjourned with Linda’s quote of the day. “Life is a question and how we live it is our answer.” Gary Keller
