President’s Message

Was this a great year for me?........Absolutely.....new friends, new activities, new experiences! Many, many thanks for a successful and exciting year. It could not have happened without the support and hard work of the Chairs, Conveners, Team Members, and, in partic-ular, all the participants. My sincere and grateful thanks to an amazing Management Team!

MEMBERS’ DAY What a great day we had at our May meeting. It was won-derful seeing the talents of so many of our members on display at our first ever Members' Day. A big thank you goes out to all the members who participated. The dis-plays were varied and it was so interesting hearing all about the items which were on display. We also want to express our sincere appreciation to Cathy Everrett and Wanda Brain of the program committee who coordinated the event and made all the arrangements with the hotel to

accommodate the displays. They had to do everything not once, but twice, since the original February date had to be cancelled due to weather. Thank you to everyone for a great event!
