The Plumas United Church Women met on Oct. 15, with five members present, reporting four visits to the sick or shut in. Pres. Norma Watson welcomed everyone and as we were a little late starting, we moved right into the business meeting.

Minutes were approved as read with the STARS presentation time being changed to 10:30 a.m.

Thanks were expressed to those who worked and donated to the funeral lunch for Clara Fischer; to those who supplied muffins and cookies for the Rally and to those who prepared and served the lunch; to Laurel for the decorating of the sanctuary for thanksgiving; to Wendy for conducting the worship service at the Rally; to Laurel for making the STARS posters for the Rally and to Laurel and Gwen for manning the registration table at the Rally.

Thanks were expressed to all those involved in the Fall Supper, whether it be set up on Friday night, cooking turkeys, cutting turkey or ham, looking after the tables, working with the desserts, keeping the serving table stocked, working in the kitchen, working wherever. Their help was greatly appreciated and the event couldn't be done without their help!

Correspondence included an invitation to a Ross Brook House event; Leprosy Relief newsletter and a plan catalogue for Christmas. Pat F. has taken on the task of writing the farewell letter to our foster child Zanety.

Under new business, we discussed our upcoming November/annual meeting to be held Nov. 19. Executive and committees are reminded that reports are necessary for that meeting.

A motion was passed to hold the fall/Christmas Tea and Bake Sale on Nov. 28 at 11:00 a.m. There will be a bake table, M&S, parcel post, tea tables, crafts and draw. 

The group discussed their visit to Country Meadows as well as the Legion supper on Nov. 7 .

Pollyanna (Wendy) gave her monthly report. The group will turn over funds to this office as the need (Christmas mailing) draws nearer.

The meeting closed with the Mizpah benediction.
