Hello Club Members

We have had a glorious early Fall Season this year, with lots of warmth and sunshine. Now the shift has changed to cool nights in the 40's, but warming up late to the mid 60's. We'll take it, as we know good and well what lays ahead.

We have had a busy schedule this season, some with great attendance and some just so so. I guess that is the way it is these days. And so it goes.

• YEAR IN REVIEW

MARCH 23 was our annual planning meeting. We had a new location this year, the private dining room at Bob Evans Restaurant on DuPont Road. We had great attendance, good service, and we will probably use this venue again in the Spring. Susan Will was sworn in as our new club secretary. Thanks Sue!
