Marlene Owens opened the meeting at the Riverside Place on March 20 with the Pledge to the Flag. She commented on the recent trip to the Hawaiian Flower Display at the Philadelphia Convention Center and the tour guide who pointed out various historical Philadelphia sights. The tour guide, who lived in Switzerland for years, gave each traveler a beautiful ink sketch of the Philadelphia river view with a schooling boat and a candied yellow rose on a stem. It was agreed by many that this particular trip was extraordinary.
Due to the absence of Treasurer Toni Young, Marlene Owens gave the report and Fred Owens performed the attendance task. Members who are making the Alaska trip will be notified by phone when to meet for particulars of their trip. A signup sheet was available for the Amish Brown Bag Tour on August 9. This trip includes stops at the Middlefield Swiss Cheese House, Ridgeview Farm & Country Market, Middlefield Bakery, Amish Wedding Dinner at an Amish home, Amish Home Craft and the Fig Tree Bulk Food Store. At each location, each person will receive a goodie in their brown bag.
The members were reminded that the Jersey Boys trip to the Benedum will be on September 8 with dinner at the Grand Concourse. Payment is non-refundable. The Apple Festival trip to Oil City is scheduled for October 6, and information will be rendered at a later date.
The covered dish picnic is being planned for the August meeting. Fred Owens awarded the Share the Wealth to Mary Andras Smith and Joan Stablein.
