Deloris read devotions entitled “Remember All These Things: God is always with you and he is
aware of your every tear.” Minutes were read by Secretary, they were accepted as read. The
treasurer’s report was given by Treasurer Jan Johnson, accepted and filed for audit. The
monthly lesson was The art of afternoon tea; taught by Deloris. Afternoon Tea is a light meal
that is a tradition in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada and Australia. Deloris served savory
cucumber finger sandwiches as well as chicken salad sandwiches and cookies for lunch. Pam
served tea from the items that she brought for heritage today; consisting of silverware
belonging to her Italian grandparents and a teapot, cups, and saucers belonging to her Irish
grandparents. Everyone really enjoyed the special luncheon; while learning about the history of
the afternoon tea.
April reported that nursing home visits are still on hold until further notice.
Health motivator Willa Jean Green led the members in an arm and shoulder exercise.
The Quiet Dell club hosted our club for lunch and fellowship on October 1st. We had a great
time; lunch was plentiful and delicious. There was also a white elephant gift exchange that was
hilarious and so much fun. Those ladies really know how to make you feel welcome and have a
good time. A very special thank you to them.
