ONRC Auxiliary hears reports
Secretary Shirley Scanlan called the regular meeting of the Odebolt Nursing and Rehab Auxiliary (ONRC) to order on June 20. She thanked the staff for the treats. Ten members answered roll call.

The secretary’s report was given and approved. The treasurer’s report was given. The cost of the new bingo cards was deducted from the balance.

Staff reports were given as follows:

Administrator Taesa Bailey: Chase Miller was hired as the new maintenance man and has started. Someone is needed in the dietary department, and also a night nurse.

Activity director Sonia Snyder: The residents are enjoying the outdoors. She said most prefer sitting on the front porch, so they can watch traffic and the kids in the pool. She reported there were lots of visitors over the Creek Day weekend. No reports on any balloons found yet.

Also, residents like the new bingo cards. The petting zoo was a success and was made possible by Vickie Renze. Residents loved it and want them to come back. The Mother’s Tea went over well with a program on hats. Father’s Day get together will be for the whole family this year.

In old business, we talked about the bazaar, which will be held Oct. 5, 2013.

The next meeting is Aug. 15 with Sally Porter serving. There is no meeting in July.
