Roll call was answered by sharing a favorite Home Remedy.

Lois Stuckey will have carpal tunnel surgery and Sandy Marshall a knee replacement-before our next meeting.
Edna Armstrong, Treva Schilling, Judy Gilliland and Jackie Mosman will take care of the many decorated shoe boxes brought to the meeting to be given to the Samaritan Purse project. Several members donated money for the postage needed to mail the boxes.

Pat Riedel and Deb Phillips shared a very interesting program about herbs. There are many references to herbs in the Bible. Pat had several fresh samples of many herbs, which were passed around in the group. Besides seeing them, we smelled them! Deb passed a leaflet containing information about Lavender. Then she also handed out small pillows of lavender to each of us and sachet packets of lavender.
The snack we enjoyed, contained herbs used in vinegar, a bean salad and shortbread cookies made with herbs. Even the punch contained an herb
It was an enjoyable evening!
