Roll call was given by Caroline heath with the question, ‘How are you involved in the upcoming Sesquicentennial Celebration?’.

History was obtained from old copies of the Chrisman Leader, many of which had to be obtained from microfilm, researched by Leslie Henry “enjoying” many hours of viewing.
The special committee spent the summer gathering items for display.
The program “Grandma’s Gloves” was presented by Kay Fidler, bringing back memories of a time when gloves were required for women in many social situations. Several club members displayed gloves worn by family members in the past.
