Chilcote Questers

The Sept. 5, 2014, meeting of Chilcote Questers 1092 was held at the home of Julie Mangold, with nine members in attendance.

The meeting started out with a delicious meal made with favorite family recipes. Members enjoyed a wide variety of good items. Before the meal, each member told about what she had brought, as well as a little history of the recipe and the dish it was brought in.

Roll call was answered by telling of ?a favorite dish you remember that your grandmother made.? Minutes were read by Pat Fritz. Jackie Ross gave the treasurer?s report.

Ross updated the club on books that she is considering to purchase in memory of Nita Lovick. The club had some discussion on this. She will do some more checking on books.
