A delicious potluck supper was enjoyed by all.
The charter was draped in memory of long-time members Billie Clarke and Carolyn Murray.
In other news, the name of Bonnie Penny was brought forward and approved for initiation at the November general meeting.
The attendance draw was won by Audrey Thomson while Loreen Ring won the birthday draw.
A donation also was made to the District 7 Scholarship fund.
