The Household Executives OHCE met Sept. 20 in the guest home of Nicki Chaffee, hostess, with Sandra Schubert as co-hostess. The meeting was called to order by President Carolyn Gasaway, who also led the group in the flag salute. The quote was: “Counting time is not so important as making time count.” Six members and one guest answered roll call to: “What is your favorite made in Oklahoma product?” Devotion was given by Chaffee about faith during disasters. Minutes of the August meeting were read and accepted as read by Secretary Chaffee.

The next meeting will be Oct. 18 at 2 p.m. at the home of hostess Lola Heaton. Carolyn Gasaway will be co hostess. The lesson will be given by Evelyn Kramp.

Officers, Lessons

Carol Anderson made the motion for the following slate of officers to be considered: president – Carolyn Gasaway, vice president – Evelyn Kramp, secretary – Nicki Chaffee, treasurer – Eleanor Ring. Seconded by Chaffee. The vote was unanimous.

Chaffee presented the lesson. She opened by presenting the group with a question: “If you had no other resources available could you live on only MIO (Made In Oklahoma) products?” Since we have divine water, meats, grains, pastries, jellies and even paper products it was decided we could do it. The history of MIO was discussed as well as all the available resources to start a business.

Schubert presented a mini lesson on the meaning of the emblem of Oklahoma and how the name is derived from “Red People.” Gasaway presented a mini lesson on the song “God Bless America,” sang by Kate Smith, to enhance patriotism.

Deserts of chocolate cake and strawberry cake provided by co hostess Sandra Schubert were served to members Carol Anderson, Nicki Chaffee, Carolyn Gassaway, Lola Heaton, Eleanor Ring and guest Barbara Faulkner.
