THANK YOU!  We appreciate all the members who signed up to be “Cookie Angels” and “Table-Scape Decorators!!”
If you are an “Angel,” please remember that we need 3 dozen sweets (brownies, mini muffins, cookies, or any treat of your choice) for the meeting.  “Decorators” plan on arriving a little early (6:15), so we can set up the table for all our “Angels” and members. For our April 16th meeting, our “Decorator” will be Suzanne Magee. Our April “Angels” are: Karen Lamb, Suzanne Magee, Carol Mulcare and Mickey Henderson.  Thanks to our March “Angels”:  Norman Dietert, Mary Oswald, Ida Mae Sells, Janie Crean, and to John Fingerlin for his darling miniature paintings & Peonies table decoration.

Thanks again and we’ll see you at our April meeting!
