Acorn ClubSue Swords was hostess for the Nov. 5 meeting of the Acorn Club. Ten members answered roll call by naming a favorite First Lady and telling an interesting fact about her.
After a short business meeting, Pat Mayo presented the lesson about the election process and how it has changed over the years. She noted that the most recent amendment to be added to the Constitution about the election was allowing 18-year-olds to vote. Also, prior to the 12th Amendment, the person receiving the second highest electoral votes was vice president. Other facts she shared was that the oldest man ever elected was Ronald Reagan at age 69, the youngest was John Kennedy at age 43, and the first presidential debate was between Kennedy and Richard Nixon in 1960.
The next meeting will be at the home of Toni Snell.
