Happy April 1st and Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary to all our of April celebrants! Lots of news today so read through...
We had a great time at The Boys and Girls Club last Friday. Thanks to all who came out, and welcome to new member Laura Duarte. This week, we are back at the library for Cindy's Craft Talk and I'm waiting on a confirmation from Jeff Earle, so hopefully Red Onion.
For those who are available, we are meeting after the club meeting for a status update on The Empty Saddle Club Fundraiser. We also have a Save The Date. See below and headed to your inbox soon.
On another note, I'm working on our Club of Impact application, which is involved, and may reach out to some of you for help. I will share more on Friday.
