Family responsibility & personal health is making it harder for me to get the newsletter out. I will continue doing the best I can, but it is probably time to start looking for a new editor.
I am taking a month off, so there might not be a newsletter in July or August. I will make sure at least there will be a post card reminder on the steak fry in August.

We had about 20 people at the last meeting. We talked about our field trip to Topaz Mountain on Saturday the 21st and some members will be there on the 22nd. Hope the weather is good for us. I found out on Saturday night that the Bee Hive Club will be out there also.
Our grab bag fill will be on June 5th at Jay and Erla's at 10:00am. Remember to bring a dish, chair, plates, forks, etc... They will furnish the Sloppy Joes. It will also be our June meeting. Hope you all have a nice Memorial weekend.
Good Luck And Good Health To Everyone
Your President
