October 9th was the date of our latest meeting. We gave the potato peelers the day off today. Our group was slow in arriving this cool morning. The coffee was soon brewing, and everyone was ready for another meeting to get underway.
Betty Sue called our meeting to order. She read the prayer requests and then opened devotions with prayer. Gary Thomas then finished the devotions. He read I Peter chapter 3 starting with verse 10. Heaven is full of joy unspeakable and glory. God has given us a promise of an eternal home in Heaven.
After devotions Betty Sue called the roll. We had 26 members present today and no visitors. Missed our members who were out today. Numbers were down today.
We then stood and made our Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag.
I then gave the financial report. We talked about different menu options and things going on in the near future. I then gave the financial report. We talked about different menu options and things going on in the near future.

Betsy asked the blessing over the food. Our menu today was breakfast. One of my favorite meals, I love breakfast anytime.
There were several crockpots full of gravy, there was even one full of chocolate gravy. Sausage and country ham biscuits, plain biscuits, bacon, sausage, eggs and fruit and jelly. A great meal. There were some breakfast pastries for dessert, if you could hold any. I filled up on biscuits and gravy.
After lunch was over and clean up was complete, it was bingo time! Nancy Tiller gave out the bingo cards and Gary Thomas and Ron Jackson brought in the bingo prizes.
