The Ladies Circle of the Christian Church met 2-10-11 at
The Bar for lunch, then went up to the church for their monthly
meeting. Mary Margaret Clark read the minutes and Jean Lucas
gave the treasurer's report. The Groundhog Bake Sale and Quilt
Raffle were discussed. Lori Heine from Palmyra won the quilt.
A motion was made and carried to donate $25 to the Syracuse
Post Prom. Brenda DeGolyer was given money for the Children's
Moment treats. The Sacrificial Dinner will be held Feb 27. New
windows were discussed for the east Sunday School room and the
Mother's room. Circle will pay for this purchase. A motion was
made and carried to donate money to the roof fund as the church
is in need of a new roof. The traveling basket was brought by
Jean and won by Kate Lucas. President Kate adjourned the
meeting, Jean gave devotions, and Patty Draeger served lunch.
