Bills were presented and motioned to be paid. Money had been received from various sources for the poppy fund. A thank you has been sent for money received.

Anderson gave a report from the December Santa Day/Hospice program/Potluck and Bingo Party. There were approximately 40 people playing bingo. A fun time was had by all and everyone left a winner. If you missed this year, the group will do it all again on the second Sunday in December. Bingo is free to play, and all ages are encouraged to attend. It will be Dec. 8, 2024.

Membership is at 51, and the goal is 59. A discussion was held concerning how to get people to join the unit and what the requirements are.

The poppies have been ordered but have not yet arrived.
