March Meeting: Our March meeting was highlighted by the
Corned Beef dinner so elegantly presented by Phil and Mary
Sue Stall along with Gabby Gillen and their helpers. There
were special raves for the side dishes, salads and desserts.
The desserts sure tempted everyone. Good Show, Folks ! !
We had a serious discussion on the upcoming elections in
April. We fortunately have at least one candidate for each
office except Vice President. The slate of candidates is
noted elsewhere in this newsletter. Our White Elephant
Auction elicited lots of laughs and hilarity as members chose
what item to place their tickets against. Expectations were
high when it came time for the tickets to be drawn. Many
got their choices but just as many did not so it all evened out
in the end. The important thing was that we all had fun.
