Hi all
Next club meeting is Monday, Oct 2, 1PM, Catalina Vista. 2023-24 dues will be collected at the door. Please put your $5 dues in an envelope with your name and phone number and give it to Larry Webster at the door to greatly speed the process and backlogs. 50/50 tickets will also be available at the door. Winning ticket will win a great looking patriotic quilt made by Leslie Monroe.
Please wear your club shirts to the meeting.
Guest speaker will be Nicole Blanchard from Ironwood HS with students wanting to interview Veterans for a book they will publish in the spring. If you want to participate and can't be at the meeting, let me know and I will pass alone your information.
