A special thank you to Joyce who opened her beautiful home to all. Have you ever eaten such delicious goodies and enjoyed seeing fellow sisters? A special welcome to our new initiates: Norma Waters, Libby White, Peggy Baker, and Mary Accardi. A special thank you to Judy Bonar for visiting Teresa Whitten and delivering the beautiful red roses from Initiation. They both enjoyed their lovely visit!

Be sure to attend and bring any questions

concerning how native plants will fit into your own yard.

Do You Remember When?

All male teachers wore neckties, and female teachers had their hair done every day and wore high heels?

 

You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking, all for free, every time?  And you didn’t pay for air? And, you got trading stamps to boot?

 

Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes, or towels hidden in the box?

 

They threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed, and they did?
