Fair report: None Guests: Ariel Oliveri (Esther’s daughter). No new members.

Unfinished Business: None New Business: Colleen has found out that we cannot have our March and April meetings at the

Library on the 3rd Saturday of the month. The Library gets first pick and they need the room for those months. We have been written in for the 2nd Saturday for both months. A committee has been formed

to search for a new venue to have our meetings at. The Committee members are, Brenda Ready, Judy Shoemaker and Tawnie Conrad. They will find at least 3 venues and get all necessary

information and present at the next officers meeting (March 19, 9 o’clock at Marysville Buzz). Thank you ladies for your help. If no venue can be found for March, Fern has offered her place to hold

Janie’s class. Announcements: Lynda Matson’s husband has been researching family information at

Ancestry.com and found out that Lynda and Fern are cousins!! It’s a small world. Mary Shoemaker brought in pens to be sent around with sign-up sheets. Thanks Mary! Lynda sent the egg that the American Egg Farmers asked her to make for Michelle Obama. She is only the 2nd
