Joyner and Esch to Exchange Vows

Gwen Joyner and Joe and Marilyn Joyner of Gleason are pleased to

announce the engagement and forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Carrie Christine Joyner, to David Wayne Esch, son of Jerry and Marcia Esch, also of Gleason.

Carrie is a 2011 graduate of the University of Tennessee Health Sci-ence Center, earning a doctorate of Physical Therapy and is currently employed as a Physical Therapist at Sports Plus Rehab Center in Milan. She is the granddaughter of Christine Chapman and the late Hobert A. Chapman of Asheville, North Carolina and the late Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Joyner of Three-Way.

David is a 1993 graduate of Gleason High School and is employed by Esch and Poole Trucking in Gleason. He is the son of the late Jeanie Esch of Gleason and the grandson of Marcus and Barbara Wright of Niles, Michigan, the late Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Rudderow of Gleason and Mr. and Mrs. Leland Esch of Gleason.

The wedding will take place at 2 p.m. on January 21 at First Baptist Church in Dresden with music beginning at 1:30 p.m. A reception will follow in the church fellowship hall. All family and friends are invited to attend. Only out of town invitations will be sent.

The Morning Glory Garden Club held its January meeting at the beautifully decorated home of Gena Manner with eleven members present. After delicious refreshments provided by the host-esses Ann Dinkins and Gena Man-ner, the club began its meeting by reciting the Collect. Gena Manner, club president, thanked Ann for all the homemade refreshments. She also asked the club to remember Joan Gibson regarding the very recent loss of her husband, Hoot Gibson, and that members keep her in their thoughts and prayers.

Chaplain Donna Pruneau gave the thought for the day taken from Ecclesiastes 3:11, regarding the seasons. With the new year, members are beginning a new season - in their lives, in their activities, and in their faith. The passage states that “He hath made every thing beautiful in its time”, and we should be fruitful for God. Members sand “Happy Anniver-sary” to Robbie Barker. She and David are celebrating their 64th year together.

A more detailed report on the December luncheon will be given at the February meeting since several members couldn’t attend because of illness or being out of

town. The treasurer’s report and November minutes will also be given at the February meeting. Treasurer Sara Fitzgerald was absent due to illness in her family.

Lucille Russell reported on cor-respondence sent to Sara Fitzger-ald, Marilyn Bobo and Letha Basford. Marilynn Putman sent a note to the club thanking members for the food, members continuing thoughts and prayers for her and Bob. Jill Holland thanked the club for the volunteer hours used in planting the Daylilies, the Leyland Cypress and for being the back-bone for beautification of our city.

Joan Gibson also helped greatly by sending thank you notes to people who helped with the lun-cheon and the decorating of the Log Cabin on Bethel’s campus.

The civic committee reported it will plant a memorial tree for Hoot Gibson. Joan will decide on the site for this tree.

Membership reported that a resignation has been received from Deni Oakley, whom the club will miss. Gena also thanked all the club members for doing such a great job at the luncheon. Ev-eryone knew their jobs and did them well. Comments regarding the luncheon included that it is a

good start for the holiday season for many, and more people are asking about where to et tickets for the luncheon. Once again, the club expresses appreciation to the townspeople for supporting this project every year. It is a fun time for everyone.

Publicity will provide a sum-mation of the January meeting to the Banner, and any pictures that can be used in the club’s scrapbook need to be provided to Historian Diane Stafford.

Old Business:1. Club members were remind-

ed that we voted to collect vases for AseraCare, and to please gather and take them to Lisa Norris at AseraCare.

2. Ann Dinkins was chairman of the Smokey Bear project. The winning student’s picture was in the Banner and her artwork sent to the district and state for judging.

Announcements: Hostesses for February are Sharon Ray and Lois Brazier. Olive Austin has the program. Members will be called regarding the time and place.

Horticulture: 1. Joan Gibson brought orange

Daylilies which are in full bloom in her home, thanks to Hoot and his care of them.

2. Sharon Hunter displayed a beautiful pink Amaryllis.

3. Gena Manner presented her beautiful red Camellias, blooms form her Snowball bush, a Jasmine blossom, and her grandmother’s Green Rose.

Members then viewed a seven minute DVD program on plant-ing Azaleas. Members learned several new techniques, and also learned that in West Tennessee, we have more acid in our soil which Azaleas really love. A handout regarding the steps shown on the DVD will be provided at the Febru-ary meeting.

Following the DVD program, the “Bow Stuffing Project” com-menced. Members took the red bows and stuffed each part to help preserve their integrity and keep them from getting flattened out in storage. This was a fun time for all. Once all bows had been pre-served, members recited the Club Benediction and the meeting was adjourned. Members who attended were Gena Manner, Joan Gibson, Meredith Lampley, Sally Sutton, Robbie Barker, Lucille Russell, Donna Pruneau, Debbie Riley, Sharon Hunter, Ann Dinkins and Zia Locke.

Beta Sigma Phi January Meetingaromas permeated the air.

A short business meeting was brought to order by President Jen-nifer Waldrup, who also conducted roll call in the absence of Letha Basford. There were 14 members present and 4 absent. The club wel-comed Lisa Fortner, a former mem-ber, back. We are excited that Lisa is joining us; we have really missed her wit and her great ideas! The minutes had been sent by email by Letha Basford and were approved with no corrections. A treasurer’s report was given by Sandra Spires. Sandra reminded the group that we still had “Depot” ornament money still coming in and there would be a more detailed treasurer’s report in February. There are about 30 orna-ments left to sell, so give Sandra a call at 731-352-3867 to purchase.

Birthday salutations were given to Nellie Hale-January 18th and Janet Baumgardner-January 22nd. Happy Anniversary to Jennifer Waldrup for January 3rd. Members were asked to bring bleach as their donation to the Humane Society. A thank you note was received from # 30 Angel Tree recipients. “Sun-shine” lady Gail Robb had a card for members to sign for Bonnie Dillon who is away.

In unfinished business, The Gordon Browning Museum has been finished. The group paid for the front door pediment to be re-painted and the foyer of the build-ing. Historic colors were chosen for the inside. Two new pots with plants now adorn the front of the building and a new open/closed sign. Christmas wreaths presented a welcoming touch for the holidays. The Gordon Browning Museum offers a wealth of information in both their genealogy and local his-tory exhibits.

In new business, Jennifer Wal-drup presented an idea for a “light-ed donation tree” that could help generate additional money for the Christmas Angel Tree.

Our program was: Aprons-Tie Us to Memories. This program was a wonderful one to start 2012 with. Members were asked to bring aprons for “show & tell”. We enjoyed seeing some great aprons; we heard both hilarious stories and some very touching stories as well. It was a fun evening!

Our next meeting will be Febru-ary 7. We will be traveling to New York via the Armchair Traveler to savor the flavors from the world’s biggest melting pot!
