For cultural arts, she shared an article from an R.E.M.C. publication titled "Painting the Towns" regarding different things painted in various Indiana locations highlighting their area's history.
Judy Kessens read the Thought of the Month, "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." Bertha Head led in the Song of the Month, "School Days." We sang "Happy Birthday" to Ruth Smith.
Ten members answered roll by stating the elementary school they attended. Isabelle attended one-room schools, and Deloris Tays attended a two-room school. The rest of us attended regular K- or 1-8 elementary schools.
