OLD BUSINESS
Phyllis Berge submitted a thank you card we could sign thanking Culver’s for helping with the Ice Cream Social. Vice President Pam Drane thanked everyone who helped with the event. We had 32 people stay after Adoration to attend the Social. Vice President Pam Drane returned the form to Culver’s and Treasurer Katherine Nelson picked up the ice cream and supplies. Both stayed and served the event. It was a very enjoyable evening.
NEW BUSINESS
President Mary Kay Hernandez met with Principal Katie Blakeslee and they determined that the St. Andrew Cookie Exchange could be the weekend of December 6th.

Secretary Gwen Doane will find out when the Back-to-School Cookout will be and ask Principal Katie Blakeslee if she needs help with anything like the ice cream social we just did.
