Monday morning meeting

A big crowd at the meeting this morning. A gentleman from the Stroke Prevention, Stuart, was there to encourage us to get our tests to check for aneurisms, and look for blockages in legs and carotid arteries. Ken Barnhart reminded us about the Sock Hop coming up, he was dressed in a "50's" outfit lol, also Jerry Maxwell said to get our Western Days tickets, preferably before the event and not at the door. It was time to elect a new chairman and Janie Maxwell was good enough to accept with Sharon Barksdale as co-chair.

I hope folks will be considerate next year in regards to using the card room behind the stage as this is where the photographer who will be taking our pictures for the 2012-2013 pictorial album will be set up. there will be 3 days in Nov. ,3 in Dec. some in Jan. and maybe in March if needed. Remember you receive a 5x7, 8x10 or 4x6 photo free for just getting your picture taken for the album. The photographer will take 4 to 5 poses of you and you may choose which one you want in the album and also offer several picture packages at very reasonable prices. If you are one of the early ones to get your pictures taken they offer some really neat Xmas cards with your picture on them for xmas, also you may buy address cards, Easter cards, and they have really neat cards for milestone Anniversary's I will be snapping pictures for the album like Style show, Sock Hop, Western Days etc.but please email me any pictures you think we would like in our album that you may have taken, we will compile a nice album that you will be proud of. We may sell ads for the back of the book again.
