Present<\/strong>, via Zoom: Dorothy Curtis, President, Nancy Marstaller, Treasurer, Susan Gilbert, Secretary, Kim Bolshaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cards<\/strong>: Kim will send cards to Friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program and Devotions<\/strong>: We took turns reading Program #3 from Blueprints: \u201cHope From Believing in God\u2019s Goodness\u201d, by Charlotte Strangelove. Scripture: Romans 15:13, \u201cNow may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.\u2019\u2019 Recommended Song: Good, Good Father or Great is Thy Faithfulness.
The message encouraged us to promote hopeful truths based on scriptures from the Bible.
We shared how the goodness of God is evident in our lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minutes<\/strong>: Susan read the minutes from our 3\/20\/2023 meeting.
Treasurer\u2019s Report: We have $11.05 in the account. The Woman\u2019s Society traditionally
has donated money to causes that support children and youth. Since the pandemic, there
has been less participation in the Woman\u2019s Society, and fewer fundraising events. We
discussed ways to earn funds and also would be grateful for charitable donations from
outside our group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayers:<\/strong> For Friends, including those Kim sends cards to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tedford Meal<\/strong>: On April 3 Nancy\u2019s Team E prepared lasagna, pumpkin soup, green
salad, bread, cookies and ice cream. The meal on May 1 will be made by Leslie
Manning\u2019s Team F. Volunteer contributions of food or donations are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Business<\/strong>: We discussed Kim\u2019s trip to Cuba, and the question of Memorial Minutes
for Helen Clarkson, Charlotte Anne Curtis, and Margaret Wentworth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dorothy Curtis ended the meeting with a quote from Madame de Stael: \u201cTo pray together, in whatever tongue or ritual, is the most tender brotherhood of hope and sympathy that men can contract in this life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
