Our September meeting was held in the Friendship Hall at Edmonds Presbyterian Church. Minutes from our June meeting were read and approved. Acting Treasurer Margaret S reported all thirteen mission recipients received $65 from the mission fund after a total of $800 in donations was donated to our mission fund, totaling $845.00. Several Thank-you notes have been received in response
Mission Chairman Ruth R reports Operation Nightwatch no longer does a sock drive in October, even though they still very much appreciate contributions of new white socks all year round. They also need contributions of small toiletries, snack items, coffee and cocoa. She suggests we could do a onetime money collection for them to let them know they still have our support.
We voted to again sponsor a Christmas family, probably composed of a parent and 2 children. Ruth will contact the YWCA to select a family in October. A delicious casserole made by Jean G, a salad and dessert were served for lunch.
We received the sad news that long-time member Mary Chiddix passed away this morning. A condolence card was signed and sent to her family. The family plans a funeral service on October 4th, with viewing at 9AM and the service at 11 AM. There will be a reception in the Friendship Hall following the service. We also plan to send a condolence card to the family of Don Hollingsworth, also a long time member who was very active in the life of this church.
The October meeting will be a luncheon at the Pancake Haus in Edmonds at 11:30 am on October 9.
November meeting will be at the church at 11:30 am November 9 and we plan to have a speaker.
