Members then stood and recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
Donna Dunlap read the minutes from the May meeting and Linda Nixon gave the club's financial report.
County agent Lytle gave a report titled "Eat Well-Live Well." She shared facts about hydration and how dehydration affects the body.  We should drink half our body's weight in water in ounces each day. If you sweat a lot you should consume more. She prepared water using cucumbers and citrus fruits to share with the group.

She gave us a handout “Household Product Database.”
