President Pat Hunt called the meeting to order at noon on November 19. There were 8 members present. We recited the Pledge of Alliegance to our flag and read the CowBelle Creed.  Cyndi Donovan gave the prayer.

 Pat Hunt received a kind note from Shirley Franks along with a donation toward expenses incurred in serving meals in honor of Mary Jo Hooker and Joyce Biebelle. There was also a package of delightful thank you notes from the youth participants in Southwest Horseman’s Assn. Junior Rodeo.   

Leslie Crumbley made a motion that we make a donation to the Pat Nowlin Scholarship Fund in honor of Joyce Biebelle and the motion passed.

We did not receive any new scholarship applications. However, it was encouraging to learn that former CCB Scholarship recipient, Dr. Sabrina Theurauf, is now working for Dr. Allred. She is manning the T or C Clinic 2 days a week and putting our scholarship funds to good use.

After some discussion, we decided to hold our Family Christmas Party/Installation of Officers on Friday, January 10^th 2024 at the Grant County Extension Office. This will be a potluck meal, so some main dish items will be appreciated.  There will be a short business meeting if it becomes necessary at that time. No December meeting (but always subject to change.)

The Deming “Old West Days” planned for November was postponed until April.

Thanks to Pat Hunt and Leslie Crumbley for hosting this meeting.

This meeting was adjourned at 12:55 p.m.

Respectfully submitted by Carol Crosley.
