We had a wonderful Spring gathering even if the weather was not really cooperating. We now know a lot more about each other and had a delicious meal at Mulligans. We are looking forward to our outdoor gathering the first Sunday of August. We were glad to see that our fearless leader of many years, Jim still has all of his EMT and boy scout skills. A 100+ year old guest somewhere else in the restaurant fell and was rescued by our members.

Please be thinking of what we could do to celebrate our 30 years as an organization. A special meal?? Musical entertainment? Dancing? Location? All ideas are welcome. Feel free to send them to me.

Message from our President, Cindy Monroe

What a wonderful gathering we had to celebrate the birthday of Robert Burns. Thanks to all who participated especially special guests Nan Worthington with her celtic harp and Liam Wesley with his bagpipes and memorized salute to the haggis. What wonderful food we had at our potluck! We certainly have great cooks.

I want to make certain you have these dates on your calendar for the year. More details will come as it gets closer to each date.
