Our meeting was held at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 19 at the Waynetown Baptist Church. The meeting was opened by Judy McBride and she welcomed everyone. Her words of wisdom were on “Doing”and we sometimes think we have too much to do, but it does keep us busy. We had the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag, Christian Flag, IEHA Mission Statement.
