Third Quarterly Meeting (August 25, 2022)

We held our third quarterly meeting at Christian Church on Old Hammond Highway.  We enjoyed the first covered dish supper since the pandemic -- our feast included ham, pork, Spam, and pineapple.  We had a luau theme and everyone enjoyed dressing the part.  During our meeting Joy Rich talked about the journey that we will be hosting in October from Dayton, Ohio.  Karen Vingiello said that we are traveling to two German cities with the Atlanta club in 2023.  Sheila Melancon announced that the Christmas party will be December 1 at Cafe American.  Larry Jonas gave details about how to sign up to volunteer at the Baton Rouge Food Bank.  We were entertained with some old country and rock and roll songs by Brett Bostwick.  Thanks to James Mire for taking pictures.
