TONKAWA minutes:
Early Bird
special at the regular 2nd Sunday TONKAWA meeting date and time
are TONKAWA Vice President and members: Jerry Starnes. Manuel and
Cecilia Flores. By 11:45 there, are more TONKAWA members socializing
and drinking good hot fresh TONKAWA coffee.
Meeting called
to order by TONKAWA President Violet Tunohun at noon. We had a respectable
number of members and guests in attendance this Sunday. She called
on long time member Helen Halling to provide the prayer.
Nellie Ruiz
ground two pounds of coffee beans to add to our larders She also
brought in word on Esther Abrahano and Jane Dumas. There was quite
a bit of reminiscing about past TONKAWA members and meeting locations.
Great fare
for a fine table of Elders and friends. Our terrific TONKAWA members
continue to keep happy smiles and real good eats in this potluck
meal: Tamales, hominy soup with a kick, mashed potatoes, peas and
corn, corn bread, thick sliced whole grain bread with butter, tossed
salad with sprinkles of Japanese crunches and apple pie to smooth
out the strong TONKAWA coffee. Did I mention that there is plenty
of Good Hot TONKAWA coffee? Maybe this was the spark for the hot
conversation?
Tonkawa New

Maybe we will
see you and a friend (We are always recruiting Elders to be TONKWA
members!). 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.
