MINUTES
MAY 23, 2009

This meeting was called to order at 1:20 PM by Vice Chairman, Jean Murry in the absence of Chairman Sally Siebe. The meeting followed a Luncheon at Jimmie’s Café on the Park, in Clayton Mo. This was our Installation Luncheon and Jan Pocock was in charge of the installation of new officers. Immediately following the Luncheon, the ceremony was begun and the new officers are:

Chairman: Libby Yunger
Vice Chairman: Kayleen Amersen
Treasurer: Martha Norman
Secretary: Mary Kinnaw/Martha Norman

Each incoming officer received a potted Spring plant.

Board Of Directors: Delia Greer, Sue Mathias, Vivian Waters and Jan Pocock.


This election was done by ballot and Jean Murry destroyed the ballots following the installation.


Libby Yunger said we now have 40 members on the roster with 26 local members. 18
ballots were cast. She said she plans to have the members volunteer to either plan a meeting each month or have the meeting at the member’s home. The new tine for meetings will be the third Saturday of each month. This has been established with International.

NIFA: Martha and Jean talked about the activities at NIFA and their experiences as judges.

Jean Murry and Jan Pocock are planning to attend the July International Convention in Chicago and discussed some of the plans. They are encouraging others to attend and showed all the plans for the convention which looked very interesting and fun also. It was a beautiful Spring day and a wonderful time was had by all attending.

The meeting adjourned at 2:20 PM.
