President’s Message

I would like to thank everyone for their friendship & trust in me. I’ll try and do my best as your President.

Our January meeting was small but we had a good time. I made an Angel Pin & I told them how to make them, everyone seemed to like it.

We need to get start thinking about wheel prizes. I know the members in Quartzsite are busy collecting rock & ideas for Crafts. We also need to fill positions, if you would like to, please let me know. We need a Fieldtrip Chairman, so we can start planning some trips soon. We need to collect rocks for the Grab Bags, but we also need to get together as friends.

Times change, and we with time, but not in the way of friendship. May all our paths lead to Love and Friendship.

Donna M. Chavez
President

Mike O’Leary has a pinched nerve, causing his hand to go numb. I’m glad to report the feeling is slowly coming back.
