Old Business: We had a very successful picnic on September 23rd. We had good food and fellowship. We had games for the children, with prizes. We had an ongoing craft table at the church. New Business: It was decided that because of too many activities being held in the month of December, we will not have a Christmas party. Therefore, a motion was made by Lester Phillips, seconded by Barbara Revak that we give each child in our branch a monetary gift. The motion was approved. Mrs. Darnay and Mrs. Nagy will handle this matter. Mrs. Olga Darnay gave a report on new members, shut- ins, births, deaths, weddings and the three student aid recipients.
