We had a moment of silence for those we miss.  A call for 50 year members was made by the President. There are none at the present time. For old business, the scrapbook was discussed again. The committee has not met so no report on that.

For new business, President Molly suggested that we all try to think of ways to get and keep the younger members interested in homemaker clubs.   The Spring 2023 meeting will be hosted by the Baker Homecraft Club.  Extension Agent, Amanda Williams introduced the office helper, Lexi Rising. Amanda gave the Extension Report. It was suggested to her to have the Fall minutes sent out in the newsletter closest to the Spring meeting so members can be refreshed on what business was done.  Meeting Adjourned.
