The Volunteer-Missionary Society met regularly on the first Wednesday of each month in the church fellowship room at 1:30 p.m.

There are thirteen members on the roll call, with seven active members.

Officers are: President, Marion Sanford; Vice President, Emma Abplanalp; Secretary, Vivian Dodge; Treasurer, Clara Harrop; Sunshine Committee, Darlene Mellom; Luncheon Committee, Clara Harrop, Darlene Mellom, Vivian Dodge.

We have a devotion one month given by a member and the next month we have a project of some kind, such as making lap robes, bags for wheelchairs and walkers for the nursing homes and shut ins in need of them. We also have made baby crib quilts to give to newborns. One month we gave the church kitchen a thorough cleaning. We also purchased and planted flowers in the three church planters.

In July we had a member potluck dinner at the church and in October we had a lunch at The Old Feed Mill in Mazomanie and looked around in their store and enjoyed the quilts on display.

Money donations were given also: $200.00 toward the new refrigerator in the kitchen, $100.00 each to R.B.C. Ministries, Salvation Army and Madison Rescue Mission.

Visitation to the nursing homes and shut ins is done regularly. We also keep in touch with them through phone calls and cards.

In December we purchased Poinsettia plants for shut ins and delivered them to Harriet Walter, Carrie Nelson, Alice Linley, Harriet Roberts, Irene Baker and Ed Winch. Also in December we had a cookie exchange among the members and shared some with shut ins.

In His name we try to help others.

Vivian Dodge, Secretary
