LIFE Meeting - June 20, 2009

Our name is WESTMOOR LIFE MUSIC MAKERS and our special
Concert room is MAGIC MEMORIES PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.

Our LIFE meeting was called Best Friends Day and was held at Julie Slumskie's home. The day was perfect. We had a wonderful meal and we ate out on the deck overlooking a beautiful yard. There were 21 present counting friends. A prize was given to the oldest, Floyd Wiebelhaus, and the youngest who was Taylor Headrick. Julie had a photographer present who took pictures of best friends. We enjoyed seeing Art's collection of antique cars. Thank you, Julie, for having us in your home. We also played a best friend game.

We discussed electing officers at our next meeting. We welcome our visitors and introduced them. Also we welcome two new members, June Albers and LaVerna Jacobsma, into our membership.

Events coming up:

We have approached Bill as a possible future meeting. Chuck and Lyla will be going to HOH and we are hoping she will present a report on the workshops, etc. Mavis also had volunteered to do a meeting on Name That Tune. We appreciate any ideas.

July 14th - Outreach at Covington Heights.

July 30th - Dance at Active Generations. It is a fund-raising event for the Center for Active Generations. Dance is sponsored by Westmoor Music, Westmoor LIFE Music Makers, and North Spring. North Spring is music by Art and Bill from Westmoor Music. Volunteer help will be the Westmoor LIFE Music Makers. Sign up sheets are available on the table. Time is 7:00pm - 9:00pm. This is part of the Take 5 and Grow It campaign put on by the Center.

We discussed the $5.00 dues that each member contributes when joining that stays with our club and is used for miscellaneous expenses.
