Thanks given by Glen Pace to Pat Salk and Bill Kapustka for the meeting held at their home last month and them dealing with the bad weather and still providing a wonderful place to hold the meeting. Thanks also given to Carol Leonard for hosting this meeting.

Bus Trip to Ohio- Mark Hanner gave a short synopsis of the Bus Trip to Ohio and the places visited during that trip. All attendees had a wonderful time on this trip. We will consider doing this trip in the future.

Allergy Reaction- Glen asked that people bringing dishes for the refreshments please mark them if they contain common food allergens, i.e. nuts, sugar substitutes, dairy, etc. One of our members had an allergic reaction after a meeting and this would hopefully alleviate the issue from occurring again.

SVHS is giving EMHS $200 toward the cost of the presentation and will be invited to join us. All EMHS members are to bring food for refreshments as the SVHS members will be travelling a long distance to get to the meeting.

Raffle- Raffle ticket brought in $125.00. Thanks to Richard and Maria Rowland for donating the glass sculpture and Judy Lamphere for donating the glass flower.
