We have thirteen new members this year but several have dropped or moved away. We urge you to bring your friends and neighbors.

Please bring in those items and buy lots back. We need to make up for the months I was out. Thanks.

Thanks to all who brought items in May. NO NEED of toothpaste or toothbrushes. Please bring hand held games, yoyos, beef jerky sticks & candies.

The following cards were mailed: Wishing You Well to the Depolds; Get Well to John Dunse, Gene Muzzio, and Bob Cancillieri.

We are knee deep in election brochures, heated discussions on important issues, and plain old mudslinging. Our country has many pressing issues before us and we need to be as good consumers of words as we are the products we clean our homes with and what we put in our bodies. But being average Americans we often say “Tsk, tsk, that’s so sad” and then return to our cornflakes. This year I urge you to read the brochures concerning the different office seekers and propositions, see who is providing the funding, and to take all the rhetoric with many grains of salt. After all, how we vote now will impact those we love the most — ourselves, our children and our grandchildren.
