Communication: none
Old Business: Marilyn stated she had not heard from NHHS about Girls’ State. He has not given her a name. We voted to support a girl from another unit if there is no one from NHHS.
New Business:
Becky reported the VA hospital in Ft. Wayne needs t-shirts, underwear and summer shorts. The baby shower is May 22. We will send a $500.00 check to split between the two items. We have adopted a veteran from the VA home but decided to just support the veterans in our area.
Poppy discussion: We will go to Do-it-Best the last week of May. Becky will go to there to check out the facility. Marilyn and Barb will offer poppies at the Memorial Day service at Schnelker Park.
Becky discussed her conversation with Pam Shook, Department President, about our current situation. She said we do not have to have all of the officer positions filled and we can have fewer meetings. She told Becky there are e-units now. She suggested we go in with another unit to have fundraisers and split the proceeds.
Becky recommended we have 3 meetings next year: August 21, 2023, October 16, 2023 and April 16, 2024. There were approved.
Brenda suggested we donate $150.00 to New Haven Parks and Recreation Department as a thank you for letting us use the building for our meetings. It was approved.
Our next meeting is May 17 at Ziano’s at 6:00.
The meeting was adjourned and Andrea closed with prayer.
Respectfully Submitted,
Marilyn Herman, Secretary
