Ending the Biennium

Our April meeting included the annual scholarship shower.  We presented Miss Herron with a certificate, a check, and school supplies.  She and her family attended the shower and expressed their sincere appreciation for this award.
At our May meeting, we enjoyed a potluck supper, then Sandy installed our new officers for the 2012-2014 biennium.  Thank you Sandy for a lovely installation ceremony.
Please remember our West Central District Meeting June 16 at Trinity UMC.  See your email for registration form and other details.
Thank you for your support and cooperation during the 2010-2012 Biennium.  I look forward to the next biennium and know that Barbara will do an outstanding job as our new President.
Have a great summer!

We made Easter baskets for the pediatric floor at DCH. Thanks to all who contributed items, helped assemble baskets, and to the sisters who delivered them!

Our April meeting will be held TUESDAY, April 24th.  The date was changed to accommodate those who may travel for the spring holiday that Friday.  We will meet at Kristi's home.  (directions will follow in an email)

After our business meeting at 6:00, we will honor our scholarship recipient.  Please bring school or office supplies to "shower" her for her new classroom.
