Arminta Foushee - On her grandmother's role as a class leader (clip)

Interviewed by Kathryn Wall on September 29, 2022

Arminta Foushee: And my grandmother was a class leader, and you’d just be responsible as a class leader for, they would divide membership and give them to different class leaders, and they were responsible for checking on these people throughout the week. If someone were sick, they were responsible for being attentive to whatever their needs were, if it was sitting with them to give other family members a break, to go grocery shopping or something like that. They would make sure they got cards, wellness cards.
