President Mary Kay Hernandez informed members that the date for the Cookie Extravaganza could change next year due to the school's itinerary. There will be basketball tournaments and Dueling Pianos dates that will come first. We need better instructions on time and place for dropping off cookies, also. Reimbursement to the Student Council for hot chocolate will be towards the 8th grade class trip.
There are no PADS or Funeral reimbursements. Next year we need to set the Raffle table in a better place so people can see it and get to it easier. Secretary Gwen Doane made a motion to approve the Financial Report and Spiritual Leader Marge Jackley-Koehler made the second motion; President Mary Kay Hernandez brought the motions to a vote and it was approved.
OLD BUSINESS
Secretary Gwen Doane contacted Trophy World in Moline, IL to order a dedication plate for the Memorial Plaque in the Divine Mercy Chapel. Someone will have to take the plaque to them next time they go to Moline, since the Dedication Plaque will have to be altered for the plate.
President Mary Kay Hernandez made sure the Birthday cards were all signed for January.
The St. Vincent Food Drive here at the parish through Christmas has done very well. Treasurer Kathy Nelson has done an excellent job with this project!
NEW BUSINESS
Discussion was had about moving the Ladies Luncheon to a new time of the month as no one showed up in November. We found the reason was because members went to a funeral of a former Society member who moved out of town, but was still close with members. We decided to see what the turn out will be for this month and discuss it at the next meeting.
We will not meet in January and there are no January expenses. We will meet again February 9th.
The only Expense we have for December is Father Russo's Christmas gift.
Pre-school Assistant Christy Adams came to our meeting tonight to ask for new letter kits for the pre-school students. Some of the equipment they have is not in good condition and they kits will last for a very long time. They would need 18 kits and the cost could be up to $650. Treasurer Kathy Nelson made a motion to purchase the kits and Vice President Pam Drane made the 2nd motion. President Mary Kay Hernandez brought the motions to a vote, and it was approved.
Spiritual Director Marge Jackley Koehler led the Closing Prayer.
Secretary Gwen Doane made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Vice President Pam Drane made the 2nd motion; President Mary Kay Hernandez brought the motions to a vote and it was approved.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:11 p.m.

The next "meeting" will be February 9, 2025.
