Ruth’s President’s Message
This is our last newsletter before the summer break and I almost missed it. Thanks to Zedra who took my notes late and Gladys Stephens who let me use her computer in North Georgia, I made the deadline.
The sign committee composed of Pat Dickson, Euba Nall, John and Kathy Foster, Linda Norton, Ruth McCrary met Monday April 16 at the library. Jo Robinson-Floyd, committee member, was absent. David Pettis, City Permits Division, met with the committee and discussed requirements of the city, county, and Florida Department of Transportation. David and Dan Miner have helped us tremendously and we thank them very much! The committee will have a report for the board at their next meeting.
Remember our luncheon meeting on Thursday, May 3 at noon at the Blue Lake Recreational Center. Contact Rosa Nell Baxley to order a meal for the luncheon. Rosa Nell does a great job with this as she did with the recent publicity for Game Night!
I hope you all have a great summer and we'll get back together in September.
