Highlights of the Women’s Meeting

At the June 21st meeting, we reviewed the problems and successes of the Spring Dinner. The profit from the dinner was $6,875.92. Thanks to all of the pie bakers, the pie table contribution increased this year. It was noted that approximately 2/3 of the diners also bought pie. Some problems with the potatoes will be addressed for the fall dinner, and the decision was also made to return to the original recipe for the cole slaw. We decided that the jewelry and crafts/white elephants tables need to be in separate areas to allow customers to see all that is available. We hope to be able to expand and use a couple of the classrooms on the upper level.

The memorial fund for Eileen has a balance of $795 after funeral expenses. The women voted to purchase a bench as a memorial that will go beside the labyrinth. Peggy Tucker will work with Patti Sachs to confirm and implement a suitable design.

The women voted to donate $100 towards Katie McGlaughlin’s EYE expenses. They also voted to purchase two longer mats for the kitchen to go on each side of the long prep tables.

As we needed to borrow a few tables from another church, and several of ours are either missing or broken, the Women decided to look into the possibility of replacing the tables for dinners with round ones.

The Women acknowledged the donation of a warmer from Michael and Trixie Ryan. We also noted that the Finne family is moving away and agreed that this will be a huge loss to the Women and to the Parish. We wish them all the best.

The next meeting is Sunday, August 24, following the 10:00 service.
