                   WOMEN OF SACRED HEART MEETING

The Women of Sacred Heart met Thursday, June 17, 2010 at the parish center. There were 9 members present.

The June meeting was called to order by President Jaynane Hardie at 6:35 pm. Barb Kauffman passed out a written prayer for the people of the parish, all joined in reading it.

Our guest speaker was unable to attend so Jaynane shared  her involvement in the community starting with the Lucas County Fair.  She has fair books available for any one wishing to enter in open class.  She encouraged us to consider entering pies, quilts or veggies in the open class.  Jaynane is also involved in the Master Gardeners & Friends - they are having a garden tour at 5 homes on Saturday afternoon.  Tickets are available at the Chamber.  The Master Gardeners also plant the flowers on the square & in front of the businesses.  They had a plant sale at the Farmers Market in May. MG & F applied for a grant to get solar lights for the 'Welcome to Chariton" signs.  There are 4 signs and they want 3 spot lights for each sign.  Jaynane is also active in the Lucas County Area Agency on Aging, which is the Chariton Senior Center. They are celebrating 35 years on 9/11/10 with on open house & are getting new tables and chairs with two grants..

Jaynane asked if anyone else wanted to share  their involvement in our Community.  Gloria Lee mentioned NARF was having a fund raiser for Alzheimer's.

The minutes of the May meeting were read and approved. The treasurer reported our balance as $4,154.38.  Our special "Family in need Fund" has a balance of $495.00.

It was reported Manor Mass was held on the first Wednesday, June 2nd. The 3 residents attended along with several from the Parish. They went on to Northridge with 6 residents attending.

Old Business:

The Rummage Sale raise $1,701.05, someone wants to buy the remaining Precious Moments. Jaynane requested in the future we not take electronics - if they don't sell we have to pay $10.00 a piece to get rid of them.  Also, Christmas or winter items should not come to the Spring Sale. ALL ITEMS need to be CLEAN and in good condition.  Everyone who helped sort, worked the sale and helped with the clean up were thanked.  A thank you note to Don & Minnie Mullens and Kirk Moody will be sent for hauling stuff away.  We will remember to call a lady from Russell that has a shop in the school to see if she will take left over items at the next sale..

Pat Thompson is going to bring Betty Hurley items to the basement now for the fall sale.

The stove is in  ($598.90).  Ken Lee will pick it up.  It won't be installed until July when Ron Altenhofen is available.

Totus Tutus - there were no requests for scholarships.

Michelle McKernan reported on the Confirmation dinner.  It was well received. They did over buy as they figured for 150 but only 90 attended. The extra meat was used for the Hurley funeral and Totus Tutus.

The Blood Drive is Wednesday, June 23 at the parish center.  Remember to bring cookies we pledged to Bob Anderson.

The funeral dinner for Betty Hurley served 42.  Sister Kathleen was here for the funeral.  Pat Thompson sent a very nice thank you card.
