Angel ornaments and candy were at each place as gifts from Pat Sciarrino, group president.

The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance. Shirley Kolpien read a short story. Sciarrino read, “Always remember — every time an angel appears, they announce, ‘Don’t be afraid.'”

November minutes were read and accepted. The treasurer’s report was read and accepted.

There will be no meeting in January. The next luncheon meeting is at noon Feb. 10. Sciarrino will set up a schedule for kitchen committees. Joyce will step down as chairman. Members should bring a dish to pass and their table service, including cups and glasses.
