Dear Sisters,
Date: March 8, 2022 at 4:00 p.m.
Place: Wells House
I will distribute the
recipes at the meeting. Check in with your Rose Buddy and see if they
would like to join you at the meeting. If they are not attending, take a
recipe book with you for them.
I am in the process of
finalizing plans for the Area 8 Workshop at Dry Falls. I will bring the
registration form to the meeting for those who want to attend. It is set
for April 23, Saturday from 10:00-1:00. No registration fee will be
charged. Beta Upsilon will provide coffee and goodies at the outset and
anyone who wants lunch…we are expected at the Banks Lake Brew and Bistro
in Coulee City. Those who would be willing to drive for carpools please
indicate on the form. This workshop will take the place of a meeting in
April.
Spokane Eta Chapter
will host an Area 2 workshop focusing on homelessness on March 19,
10:00-2:00 including lunch. Registration fee will be $20. I will be
going over the night before. I will have registration forms at the
meeting.
Yakima Theta Chapter is
hosting an Area 1 Workshop on April 30 focusing on the asparagus
industry and including tamale making. Registration fee will be $10. I
will have registration forms for that workshop if I get them in time.
Our spring WSO
convention in May will be held virtually. State Executive Board made
that decision due to the cost should we have to cancel an in-person
meeting. I will forward information to you as our state president Pat
Bennett-Foreman sends it to me.
Our amazing Teri St.
Jean got a great idea for a service project from an article in the
Costco magazine. It suggested collecting lipstick to help women in need.
As Teri and I talked about it, I suggested we add all those little
soaps, lotions, shampoos or conditioners we all have in our bathroom
drawers that we have collected at hotels while traveling. I contacted
the Women’s Resource Center who would be delighted to take those
donations for women in need whom they serve. If you have Clinique or
Lancome or whatever cosmetic bags or their contents that you don’t use,
bring those also. I have a big basket ready with some things I already
found in my bathroom and some extra cosmetic bags. The Women’s Resource
Center recently made up some little cosmetic bags with feminine products
(tampons) that they distributed to homeless teen girls. Feel free to add
those items to your donations.
We are hoping and
planning on an indoor or possibly an outdoor meeting in May with a
location to be determined.
Looking forward to next
week!
ROBERT SEZ: “For the good of the order”
It’s a time for members at the end of the meeting, to give suggestions
for improvements or compliments. Usually, no business is brought
forward at this time.
 ALONG WITH DIANE GROODY ASMERA GEOLOGIST FOR THE CANNON GOLD MINE  Cannon Gold Mine - Wenatchee ------------------------------------------ Diane was the first and only woman geologist in the USA at the time that the Cannon mine was explored and developed. The original exploration crew came to look for gold in 1981. She and Ed Follis were part of that crew and while Ed left shortly after the gold was discovered, Diane stayed and supervised the drilling, sampling and mapping at the mine, gave input on the ground and grade control, and calculated the reserves and royalty payments until 1989 under the title of Underground Operations Geologist. In 1989 she went to work for the Wenatchee Bureau of Land Management as a geologist there.
She has lived in Wenatchee for 40 years, has helped the museum label the things Asamera donated to the museum when they shut down the mine in 1995, has written articles concerning the mine and has photos, maps and stories to share with us. She supervised a very large operation that many people in Wenatchee don’t even know existed. Come hear about this most interesting part of our valley, what they found in this underground mine, how it was discovered, how many people worked there, why they shut down the second largest gold mine in the United States, and much more. If you have personal stories and/or questions about Cannon Mine, please feel free to share with the group. We meet at 4:00, March 8, at the WELLS HOUSE.
The Wenatchee Wells House is close, easy to find, and has lots of paved
parking. A few cement steps with handrails lead to the front door. Turn
West from Miller onto 9th street (or East on 9th
from Western). Then turn South on a little street by the name of Nelson.
Wells House is at the end of that street...can’t miss it!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Present: Rosa Eilert, President and Host, Program Chairman, Teri St. Jean, Cathy Reasor, Kris Crilly, Marilyn Weaver, Karen Bray, Billie Lopushinsky, Tammy Lopushinsky, Sue Lawson, Ann Fuller, Sherry Schreck. Rosa brought the meeting to order and first discussed communications. She has sent Yakima and Spokane newsletters with the hope of gaining new ideas for our group. The Minutes and photos are also included in our regular newsletter. She discussed the possibility of doing interviews again and including them in our newsletter. Rosa also talked about our March Meeting with the hope that we can all meet in person, granting that the Covid situation is better. She discussed having to find a suitable place and welcomed suggestions. Program Chairman Teri St. Jean indicated that our next meeting would feature a geologist, Diane Groody, who will talk about the Cannon Mine and share her expertise. Rosa indicated that the April meeting will be the Area 8 workshop in Coulee City; we will go to Dry Falls and the museum there. Lunch will be at 1:00 at the Banks Lake Bistro and Brew restaurant. It takes about an hour and 15 minutes to drive there, and we will leave at 8:35 am and arrive by 10:00 AM. The workshop is Saturday, April 23rd. Rosa suggested that we line up members who will drive at our March meeting. Teri invited members to share their recipes and/or finished product for the evening program; recipes are to be forwarded to Rosa. Teri shared her Baked Oatmeal recipe that takes 30 minutes; Tammy Lopushinsky described her Grandmother’s comfort casserole made with chicken and rice and displayed the finished dish; Billy Lopushinsky shared her refrigerated bran muffins, made with buttermilk and a variety of ingredients, e.g. blueberries, and showed us her baked muffins; Sue Lawson informed us about a simple salad made with pears on shredded lettuce, topped with cheese and a dollop of mayonnaise (with lemon); Cathy Reasor took her recipe from the Magnolia cookbook, and it includes chicken breasts, long grain, rice, and wild rice soup; Karen Bray described her Crusty Bread recipe with yeast, flour, rising time of 5 hours, etc.; Marilyn Weaver shared her Fresh Asparagus Side Dish with angel hair pasta; Ann Fuller showed the group her gift from friend, Geneva Jardine, a Delta Kappa Gamma Cookbook from the Southeast Region, e.g., fruits and dips; Rosa discussed two soups from the All Recipes book: an Italian Sausage soup and a weight loss minestrone soup, full of vegetables and healthy. Terri presented the chocolate chip-heavy cream-amaretto recipe for fondue with a cup as the raffle item. Karen Bray was chosen to receive this “tasty” gift. Rosa polled the group to be sure everyone is receiving the zoom invitation and the newsletter and to see if everyone wants to hear more from our State leaders. She also talked about what we might do for Community Service and suggested that we collect books for young people and collect them in May. Karen Bray indicated that the Henry Building in Cashmere might be a location for our March meeting. She will look into it.
Scholarships were discussed and praise given to
Kris Crilly for her newspaper article on the
scholarships we have available. Appreciation was voiced
for Teri’s “Theme” approach to our programs. President
Rosa adjourned the meeting.
