Other News:
Pat Kennedy is currently looking for a new place for us to hold our meetings. The place we are in currently is nice for our summer members because there are about 15 - 20 people present. But once our snowbirds come back we are pretty tight. She does have a place she is working with to see if we can get in there for about the rent we are paying now or lower. So please, keep watch for these details in the up coming Newsletters. I will keep you all updated.
Don't forget Tuesday is the beginning of the month and Awards day. Please bring a fruit for the Awards basket. And wear your sashes.
