A.A.M.C. Meeting Minutes

Minutes of December 2011 Meeting: Because December is AAMC’s holiday party month, there was no student of the month. Sharon Ferina, AAMC president, welcomed members and guests and had several announcements. Marsha Frelund volunteered to take the handmade Christmas cards to the nursing homes. Irene Mortensen had delivered the cards for many years in the past.

Once again, AAMC put on the holiday white elephant sale during the festivities, run by Judy Coffman with help of several elves. Proceeds from the sale will go towards the student scholarship fund.

Don Andrews workshop will be Wednesday – Friday, January 25 – January 27th. For more information, contact Sally Pearson at 340-3728.

Installation/ end of the year luncheon will be on June 1 at Eagle Marsh. Sharon thanked members for donating art related DVDs for other members to benefit. Doti Browning is in charge of dispensing the DVDs.

There will be an “AAMC member only” art exhibit at Marilee Lee’s Artist Gallery in April. More information to follow. A “Hospitality Chairperson” is needed to keep track of host/hostesses for each month’s meeting. We also need a “Setup/breakdown Chairperson” for setting up and taking down the chairs at each meeting.

The “Money Tree” that has been lovingly made for years by Peggy Meissner raised $80 that will be donated to the Hibiscus Children’s Center in the form of ChuckECheese gift cards. There will be a bagful of photos at January’s meeting that Peggy had taken over the years. Members are welcome to take them.

The AAMC board is currently working on a permanent memorial for Peggy. The board is covering her position until the April elections. A few moments of silence were offered in Peggy’s memory followed by many fond recollections of Peggy and how she touched our lives. She will be missed.

The artist of the month was Sally Browning Pearson. There were many savories and sweets which members brought in to munch on during the party. A wonderful time was shared by all.

Respectfully submitted, Valerie Geever, Recording Secretary

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have to tell you some sad news.  Peggy Meissner, our longtime corresponding secretary, past president, board member and mentor passed away with her family surrounding her on Saturday, December 3. She was loved by many and will be missed by all who knew her. She has touched hundreds of us in ways that she will never know. She was always kind and loving and not a cross word from her, EVER! She is where her spot was saved for her, in HEAVEN, with the rest of the angels. She was ready, it's just all of us who weren't ready for her to leave us now.

So, please remember her in your prayers as I know she has done for all of us for years.
