| President’s Message Hello Everyone! A big Thank You to all who participated in the Blazer Kitchen Donation/Luncheon! It was cold and windy but so nice to see faces again!! The food from Brick and Tin was excellent as always. Borden is working hard on programs for next year. She is in discussions with the Woodward House in hopes of reinstating our annual Kick-off meeting in Person!!! Be on the lookout for an email with important dates for the 2021-22 year. As a reminder, we sent out a survey asking for input on programs. We would really appreciate it if you would take about 5 minutes to fill this out online. It would help us out a lot to know what your interests are for next year. I hope everyone has a great summer and we can all come back in the fall refreshed and ready for an incredible new year! We all look forward to serving you again! Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you or if you have any questions. I can be reached at [email protected]. Lisa |
