On October 8th, the Red Hat Ladies had their fall meeting at K-Mila’s Mexican Restaurant in Holdenville. Sharon Dilday read the minutes of the last meeting. They were approved as read. Glenda Stinson read the Treasury’s report. Lynn Marquis and company will be the hostess for Thanksgiving with a covered dish luncheon. Each member will bring a covered dish with Glenda bringing the chicken and dressing and Lynn will make chicken and dumplings. I can’t wait to see what everyone brings. But I know it will be delicious!
