Meeting Minutes – Monday, 4 December 2023
Wilson County Beekeepers President, Carey Mitchell, welcomed 65 members and guest to the annual Christmas Dinner on Monday, December 4, 2023. As this was a pleasure meeting, no business was conducted. Attendees were asked to sign in at each table to play Dirty Santa after dinner. Donation envelops for Wounded Warrior Project were available for anyone wanting to contribute.
Carey asked all to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and Dale McCleskey gave the invocation. Carey thanked Dale McCleskey and Freddie Stroupe for making the turkeys.
For those that were participating, folks were asked to pick up a wrapped gift while filling plates from the bountiful tables of fabulous food. No one should go home hungry.
After bellies were full, Carey introduced the 2024 officers:

Vice President — Leonard Walker
Secretary/Treasurer — Petra Mitchell
TBA Directors — Jessica Dodds/Jamie Irons/Jenny Lamb
TBA Alternates — Chuck Benson/Philip Chapman/Laurie Karr

A good time was had by all that played Dirty Santa. Numbers were drawn for the poinsettias that decorated the tables.
A total of $1,115.00 was collected for the Wounded Warrior Project… what a generous group.
A reminder was made that the next meeting is Monday, January 8 at 7:00 pm with Leonard Walker doing a program on double-screen beekeeping. Dues will be due and new membership books will be available.
Festivities ended around 8:30 with a Merry Christmas wish to one and all!
