After business discussions concluded, members began preparing Valentine remembrance gifts for residents of The Devine Health and Rehabilitation Center. It took us a little while to get our assembly line going which created much laughter. We attached Valentine cards with a special message and filled their Valentine bags with Kleenex, crackers and candies – finishing the bags with curling ribbon. Kay Shultz, Martha Wall and Linda Cole delivered the bags. See photo.
Our next meeting is in the home of Laura Sinclair on March 17. The program will be on robotics as well as finalizing plans for the ice cream social for graduating seniors. Come and join us.
