Special to the Times Vedette
On Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026, seven Sunshine Club members met at the home of Chari Heldenbrand for an 11 a.m. meeting and luncheon. Sandy called the meeting to order with the roll call being, “What is the furthest you have travelled from your home?” Lots of interesting answers were given along with why members were there.
The minutes of the July meeting were read, and the treasurer’s report was given.
Charlotte will not be able to have the September meeting, so Sandy suggested several small day trips the group could take; it was decided to take a trip to Manning to visit the 17th Century German Hausbarn, which was built in 1660 in Germany, later dismantled, shipped and reconstructed at the Manning Heritage Park. The trip will be on Sept. 29 and the group will later decide the time and where to meet for rides.
The meeting adjourned with lunch to follow, and several members brought appetizers, desserts, veggies, fruit bowls and muffins to accompany the meal. Some stayed to play cards to complete the afternoon.
