President’s Message

 

We had such a good show of members at our last meeting, thanks for all your support.

 

Since my surgery I’m feeling a little better, but still have a lot of pain in my back.

 

There were 13 people that went down to Nephi Saturday May 17^th to gather rock. I would like to thank them so much for their help. Our next rock trip will be June 21^st for Wonderstone.

 

I hope everyone can make a few Necklaces & Key Chains for our Grab Bags.

 

Thanks for all your support, and see you at the Grab Bag Fill on the 7^th of June at Jay & Erla’s, 10:00 o’clock, bring a dish & chair.

 

I hope this finds everyone feeling better.

 

Good Luck Always

 

Ruth S. Smith

Note From the Editor:

I would like to apologize for not having much club news in the last issue. I haven’t felt the best and just wasn’t up to it.

 

I am looking for help with the kids corner. If you can come up with some words & hints I can use in a crossword puzzle or just some words I can use in a word find puzzle (I can create the puzzles) it would be greatly appreciated!!!
