New Officers of Advisory Council Congratulations to Del Dorr who was elected the new president of the Advisory Council! Many of you know Del from his leadership roles in our Book Club, Bible Study and Genealogy Club. We know he will do a great job. Thank you and congratulations also to Barbara Brown who was elected Vice President and Polly Cross who was elected Secretary. The Advisory Council meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 8:30 a.m.
Update on Matching Campaign Well, folks, we did it! We were able to meet our goal of raising $5,000 thanks to all of our generous supporters. This amount will be matched by FiftyForward making for a grand total of $10,000. Special thanks also to Julie Reeves who designed the beautiful puzzle on display in the front entrance. She is one talented lady! We hope to see you soon!
