The April meeting of Starlite FCE was held April 15th at the Yeager building at the Fairgrounds.  President Glenda Miller called the meeting to order.  The Pledge of Allegiance and Club Collect was led by Joyce Allen.  Fourteen members were in attendance and reported that they had volunteered for twenty-seven hours and had recycled 550 pounds of cardboard.

 

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.  Doris Ericson presented the Treasurer’s report and Karen Peery gave the Council report.  She reported that there were nine applicants for the FCE scholarship and that it had been awarded to Sadie Marchiano.  Upcoming events include Wallet Wisdom April 22nd and Aging with Attitude April 29-30.

Doris Ericson read a Thank you letter form Clarice Russell and Betty Johnson thanked the club for the Easter Basket they received.  Megan Brillhart asked the club for suggestion on how to make the outside commons area at Presbyterian Village prettier.  Deb Lust suggested that the Masters Gardner’s might be able to help with the project.  Megan also announced that they were letting visitors come between 9-5 and encouraged us to come and visit.

After the meeting Karen Peery presented a lesson called “Button, Button, who’s got the button.”  Karen had made several crafts using button and displayed a variety of antique buttons as well as presenting the history of buttons.  Karen had each member try to guess the number of buttons in a jar.  Believe or not someone guessed it right on the button and won a jar of lotion that Karen had made.
