Four members met at "Chancers" in Winterset for lunch March 8th. After enjoying a very good lunch, we went to Norma's, where we had our business meeting.

Roll Call was answered by giving a current event, which always makes for lively conversation. Other business was taken care of - we decided to meet at the Pizza Ranch in Creston for our April 12th meeting. Norma invited us to the dining area, where she served a delicious fruit pizza and coffee. We thank Norma for her hospitality.

Five members and one guest, Linda Gilland, met at Audrey McDowell's Thursday afternoon. Audrey served a very tasty dessert lunch; Doris had the odd fork, and Kathleen had the smiley face nut cup; both received prizes.

Roll Call was answered by telling our favorite thing about fall. We each had a favorite thing, and all agreed fall colors were one of them.

President, Norma called the meeting to order, Audrey reported on gifts we had given, Joann and Isabelle gave the Treasurer's Report - no further business. Our next meeting will be at Kathleen's November 9th.

Each member passed a book to another member from a list made up by the officers. A limit of 12 members was set. Dues were 10 cents a month....remember it was the early 1940's.
