LA VETA- On September 16, Tuesday Night Study Club met at the Catholic Parish Hall with Sue Pezze as hostess and Dora Quintana bringing the program.
Twelve members answered roll call with everything from eye care to Christian carvings on government buildings.
It was mentioned that Irene Heikes was going to participate in the Memory Walk at Lathrop for Alzheimers. There were several members that contributed to this walk.
Sue Pezze reminded everyone that Bonfils would be having a blood drive at Oktoberfest. If anyone would like to participate, please schedule with your name.
Dora’s program was on Kewpie dolls. She brought 19 of the dolls and gave history on how the dolls first were introduced. They looked like cupids, so that was the reason they were named Kewpie dolls. Rose O’Neill was the originator and for over 100 years, she said, “they have been bringing love and laughter into the world.”
We had great brownies and ice cream with a really good punch for refreshments.
The next meeting will be on Oct. 21 at the home of Jean Duzenack with the program presented by Irene Heikes.
