July Meeting Report
On the second Sunday, Juiy 14, the
meeting convened with a fair quorum
present. The secretary/treasurer was latě
in arriving due to the conflict between the
starting time of 2 p.m. of the meeting and
her job quitting time which was also at 2
p.m. Added to this was a distance oť 20
mi les to the meeting site. Therefore, the
reading of the minutes was set aside until
she arrived. Two motions were made and
passed to také care oť business. One oť
these motions admitted Karrie Preisler as
a new member. We welcome her to our
lodge. An extensive report was given on
the Twenty-Seventh Convention.

day. Our condolences go to his family.
The ťraternal hour buffet luncheon had
enough food donated that there were sec-
onds available.
An experiment by Brother Glen
Kaminsky, our vice president/fraternaí
activities coordinator, is working out
weil. He started a morning kaffee klatsch
for some of the persons who get together
for cofťee and breakfast between 6 and 7
a.m. at the local eatery. On Wednesdays,
this eatery is dosed and this group would
meet at the Methodist Church fellowship
halí on these days. The church sessions
went on hiatus ťor the summer so Brother
Kaminsky thought the void could be par-
tially-filled with the use of our meeting
room. The membership agreed to this.
He has had a good turnout.
To the faithťul: Mark your calendars
on August 11 and this writer remains—
