Alpha Zeta's meeting
at Sugar Hollow Park
in Bristol, VA
President, Sara E, welcomed everyone to the first meeting of the 2016-2017 year! It was a beautiful day for a picnic, and everyone enjoyed the peaceful, bucolic setting provided by Sugar Hollow Park.
Members brought goody bags to be distributed to new teachers in the schools represented by our membership.
Since this meeting was our first of the year, Judy Y, our treasurer, had a lot of money to collect and membership cards to distribute. We are so thankful for Judy's dedication and hard work!
There was a brief business meeting before the picnic fun began.
- Mary C offered a tribute to her niece as the "Thought for the Day."
- Gail G provided minutes of May's meeting.
- Judy Y gave her treasurer's report
- Gail G read recent correspondence.
Cina Adams spoke of Mary Cline in a "Moment of Remembrance."
We were all saddened to learn of the death of our dear Mary Cline in August. She was a bright, sunny spot in our meetings and will be sorely missed. Her kindness and smile fell upon every one of us abundantly.
