The Twentieth Century Club started the 2017-2018 year off with our annual brunch on Aug. 14. Hostess for the brunch was Luella Phipps with Glenda Baker, Evelyn Boyle, Georgia Detwiler, Sandy Eaves, Dorothy Foater, Glenda Ware and Lana Sue Jones serving as co-hostesses.
Our first meeting on Sept. 11 was with Sharyl Henry serving as hostess and Lana Sue Jones, co-hostess. Sandy Eaves president, called the meeting to order. The unfinished business was comments on the trip in May which everyone enjoyed and the suggestion to announce the topics for the following programs to prevent duplications.
The opinion was given by Luella Phipps. She first called for the club to remember 9-11 with a moment of silence and then she asked the group the question about hurricanes, if you would stay put through it or leave everything. Several ideas were given.
Sharyl Henry provided the entertainment in which she read the story “One Snowy Night” about Percy and all the animals who knocked on his door to come into his house to get warm and stay the night.
A very interesting program presented by Glenda Baker was about two historic sites in this area. The first one was the Osage Village State Historical Site near Walker. In the 1700’s the Osage Indians lived on a hilltop near the Osage River and at one time there was 2,000 to 3,000 people living there. They were hunters, farmers and fur traders. The second historic site was about the Gun Battle at Roscoe between the Younger brothers and the Pinkerton detectives on March 17, 1874. This information is found on a monument at the site.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned to enjoy visiting and a delicious dessert.
