- Lucinda Says,
We need volunteers to sign up at this meeting. Some will be needed to help with games and refreshments on Game Night. Some may need to help with the Bridge A Rama dinner. We need hosts / hostesses for the general meeting. You may wish to be on the program committee. There are many opportunities to serve. Be thinking how You can help. If you missed our January meeting, come and meet our new officers: Vice President, Pam Butler and Secretary, Ruth McCrary. The Blue Lake building was a warm refuge from a raw January day--as well as a place to greet friends and make new ones. See you in February. Lucinda
