We will recess for July and August and
meet again in September to start a new series of events.
Summer is a great time for prospective members to complete
membership applications; Registrar Marilyn Swedin is always
glad to assist.
We're continuing to collect labels from Campbell's products
for DAR schools and postage stamps for the Veterans. Bring
them whenever we meet. Ask family members or friends to
save labels and stamps and we can double our contributions!
