  • President Debbie Lazorik opened the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance and prayer.
  • Secretary’s report by Nancy Funk for November was approved
  • Treasurer’s reports by Barb Ritchie for November and December were approved.
  • Sunshine report – a card will be sent to Sheri Payne who will be having hip surgery this month.
  • Book club –  The January book will be the last three stories from “The Lineage of Grace”. The February book is “Connecting with God in the Garden”.  The author of the book, Cecile Smith, will be coming to the meeting.
  • The Bible study on the book of Luke will continue on January 8.  Fr. Edward will make a short announcement about the Jubilee Year.
  • Outreach committee
    • The Cookie Walk was held on  December 14 and 15.  There was good responses after the 5:30 and 10:00 masses.  But very few after 8:00 and 12:00. We still were able to give $1000 to the Daily Bread Kitchen.  The Breakfast with Santa sold cookie kits the week before which may have affected the number who came to the Cookie Walk.
    • The blood drive will be held on March 10.  We should have more information on what we  need to do by the next meeting.
    • The quilt raffle will begin selling tickets on April 1.  The drawing will be held at the May crowning dinner.
  • Debbie spoke with Hucks and they are willing to work with us to discount supplies for the sub sale for Superbowl Sunday on February 9.  They will charge us $3.00 per sub.  CWA will supply lettuce and tomatoes.  We will put a pre-order form in the bulletin. The last day for pre-orders will be February 2.  Notices will be sent to Tammy Bradley at the school and to Lora Offenberger to include on Facebook.
  • We went over items from the calendar.  We will put a copy of the CWA activities sheet in the bulletin with an envelope for a donation to the CWA.
  • We discussed various activities that we may sponsor once a quarter.  Suggestions include a salad jar and speakers.  Debby Cody will contact Sister Mariam James about coming to speak possibly in the spring.  We are considering having movie nights.  Some movies being considered are: Cabrini; Sister Una Lived a Good Death; and Dorothy Day, Entertaining Angels.
  • David Wendt is working on a bus trip to Canton which would include a trip to Mother Angelicas Center and to a Byzantine church for mass.

The meeting was adjourned. The next meeting will be on February 5.

Respectfully submitted,
