Judy Tulley and Vice gave a report on the district meeting. They attended a presentation on the Girl Scouts and how they have changed over the years. They now have six to 18 different classifications and they teach the girls more on how to be leaders. They also had a speaker on health and how portions are more important than the size of food helpings.
Our lesson was on a three-ingredient No Churn Ice Cream given by Vice and we were given samples of the ice cream with cookies for refreshments.
Our next meeting will be April 15 and Minnie Howard will be the hostess.
