TONKAWA minutes:
This Sunday
is windy and unpredictable weather. We just had a good room of faithful
TONKAWA members in attendance this Sunday. Early arrivals this Sunday
are TONKAWA Vice President Jerry Starnes and Rita. Jerry and Roy
set up the room and Rita covered the tables with tablecloths.
TONKAWA Vice-President,
Jerry Starnes, enrolled Menominee Tribe, chaired the meeting and
Ruth Cervantes offered the blessing for the luncheon. We had a good
TONKAWA response to a round robin introduction and review of the
last month events in each members life. We might make this
a part of future TONKAWA meetings.
1. Jean Vineault,
TONKAWA treasurer, reported with a written copy for all the members
and comments on the line items. It is M/S/P as presented. The discussion
moved into related areas of concern and future planning for the
TONKAWA seniors club:
2. TONKAWA
Dues will remain the same $5, year and will be collected this August
in conjunction with a mailed invitation to the next, Aug or Oct.,
hosted TONKAWA dinner or luncheon.
3. Celia Flores
will secure an 8-foot banner identifying the TONKAWA group at public
functions.
4. This May
11, 10, TONKAWA meeting will be at the IHRC Culture days pow wow
in Balboa Park. We will request from IHRC, a covered shade and 12-14
chairs for the TONKAWA members.
5. Transportation
for TONKAWA events and meetings was initiated and will be brought
up in further discussions.
6. We will
send out a mailed print copy of the TONKAWA minutes to the few members
that do not have Email access.
The attending
TONKAWA members and the tables looked festive and fine. We sat down
to a heartfelt healthy potluck feast of ham and lima beans, Teriyaki
chicken thighs, spicy chili beans, corn bread, rice and kidney beans
in a red sauce, pan dulce, fresh bread and butter and type 2 special
selection of donuts, bear claws maple and chocolate long johns..
Finally, there is good TONKAWA hot coffee.
We cleaned
up, packed up and while some TONKAWA members were still packing
take-home snacks, drinking coffee, talking and laughing,
others went out the door by 1:45 pm.
It is always
nice to see new members and guests drop in and are encouraged to
return. This is a very nice down home meeting to attend. We are
also very pleased to enjoy the regular attendance of TONKAWA along
with community guests and family members.
The next TONKAWA
meeting is May 11, 2010.
