President’s Message–At the end of the meeting I would like to have us do a make and take project. Is there anyone that would be interested in presenting a project that we could do in half an hour or less? We will have a speaker,Tammy Reuter from the Retsil Veterans Home at our meeting. She will be telling us about a new project. Bring your friends to the meeting, the more members we have the more we can accomplish. There will be a special gift for guests and the persons that bring them. I hope to see many of you at the Putt Putt golf on the 9th. Nancy
