The devotional was given by Alda Bandy who read Deuteronomy 10:12-13 and Wilma Davenport led the prayer. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Hobbs. Roll call was answered with the naming of a  favorite songbird with 11 members and one guest present. Secretary Lori Yates read the minutes from the Nov. 17 meeting, and treasurer Davenport gave the financial report.
Vice president Sandra Blair read a thank-you note from the Children’s Advocacy Center for items our club donated. Blair reminded members to submit their perfect attendance, gold stars and books read at the January meeting.
Hobbs reported on a state project to collect box tops and labels. Bandy gave a homemade craft to each member and guest. Hobbs reminded members that if school is closed due to weather on our meeting day, the meeting will be rescheduled to the following week.
