May Meeting

About thirty or so Members made it to the in-person meeting on May 2. Unfortunately, the hybrid format has posed us some issues.

For now, thank goodness for Zoom and…

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sunflower runner by Donna V. It's October already and Thanksgiving is looming just around the corner. Hopefully, many of us will be able to spend the holiday weekend with family and/or friends.
