Eight members of the Antioch ABC OHCE club met Dec. 16 and enjoyed an afternoon of food, fun and laughter together at their annual Christmas party and DHS baby shower. Members present were Kristi Ezzell, Gay Freeman, Joy Pyle, Ron Endler, Jeanne Rowlett, Gayla Ezzell, Chestine Box and Carol Darrow.
The meeting opened with Ron leading the pledge of allegiance, then a thought for the day was given by Chestine, minutes were read by Carol and treasurer's report was given by Jeanne.
It was reported that Ron, along with several other members, led in the Laying of Wreaths Across America ceremony, Saturday, Dec. 14. Ron also reported the delivery of signed Christmas cards was well received. Many thanks to Ron for leading in these two events.
Members with perfect attendance for the 2024 year are Chestine Box, Ron Endler and Jeanne Rowlett. Good job guys.
The next community first Tuesday free luncheon will be at noon on Jan. 7, at the Antioch Community Center. The menu is stew and cornbread. The public is welcome.
We were very pleased to have Gayla lead us in the singing of seven Christmas carols before refreshments were served. We enjoyed snacks then we played Dirty Santa. Kristi ended up with the gift we all were trying for, but then it turned out all the gifts were fun.
Our next meeting will be Jan. 20 at 2 p.m. We hope to see a lot of members and prospective members there.
