The 20th Century Club met Monday at USD 408 central office with 15 members in attendance. The club will donate $250 to St. Luke Foundation and $75 to the Community Christmas fund. Members brought canned goods or made monetary donations to Marion County Emergency Food Bank.
Money will also be given to Marion City Library to purchase two books during National Education Week.
The group decided not to sponsor a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Central Park. The club will resume the annual tradition next year.
Paula Ash, Norma Nickelson, and Joyce Smith served hot cider and decorated pumpkin cookies on a table decorated with fall colors.
The program was an exchange of cookies and recipes.
The next meeting will be the annual Christmas meeting at the Milk and Honey Bed and Breakfast in Hillsboro.
