Pastor, Andrew DeGolyer
Ladies Circle of the Unadilla Christian Church met at
Mary Margaret Clark's home on Thursday evening, October 8.
There were 7 members present and one guest, Sandi Kimbell. The
regional meeting held in Unadilla on September 13 was discussed.
A meal had been prepared for twenty and only 7 came from other
churches. Before consent is given again, a paid reservation plan
must be in place. Raffle tickets for the quilt are still available.
Blocks were made by the ladies of the church. The drawing will be
held at the Creamed Chicken Dinner on November 1.
A Halloween party will be held at the church,
Wednesday, October 28th, for the youth in the community.
It was decided to donate money to the Syracuse
Post Prom event as Jon Draeger and Jeremy Dettmer, both
seniors, have ties to the church.
President Kate Lucas asked for discussion on the flowers at the
front of the church and all agreed they need to be replaced.
Sandi Kimbell talked about the Creamed Chicken Dinner.
Jeanie Steinkuhler, Brenda DeGolyer, and Sandi Kimbell are co-
chairing the event.
The traveling basket was brought by Kate and won by Jean Lucas.
Next meeting will be November 12, with the place to be
announced later.
