Picnic Arrangements are
Proceeding
Arrangements are being
finalized for our summer picnic on Sunday,
July 25, 12 noon to 4 p.m. at Cantiague
Park. The price will be $1 per person,
which is less than the cost of a hot dog!
John Russo is busy organizing the event and
soliciting donations of food. We can use
help with setting up, cleaning up and organizing
games and amusements.
May is Membership Month
Membership renewals are
due in May. Remember everyone who renews on
time or becomes a member this month will have
their name entered in the Mystery Box
drawing to be held at the June meeting .
Millie Jones will make the last mail pickup on
June 4. Make sure that your
membership payment is received by this date!
Health Fair
The Health Fair hosted by
the Burns Avenue School on Friday, April 30 was
very well received. There were several
dozen tables with health and safety information
and handouts. The fair was attended by
school children, adults and seniors. A good
time was had by all. Our civic table with
environmental handouts was well received and
everyone enjoyed taking home a packet of
wildflower seeds.
~ NOMINATIONS ~
It will soon be time for
elections. We're looking for candidates to
run for office and Jo-Ann Broska, Sergeant at
Arms is heading a nominating committee. If
you're interested in running for an office or
