NOTE: We ended up not having a business meeting as planned. We had approximately 16 members attend with 2 guests. It seemed not to make sense to hold a business meeting. I’ve made some brief notes/remarks on this agenda to keep us up to date until our June meeting which will be held at the church.
Attendees: Sandy Ahlquist, Jennifer Buss, Elizabeth Cathey, Barb Decious, Mary Lou Epperson, Shelley Fenton, Patti Gage, Sue Gilbert, Pat Marshall, Roberta Mehta, Helen Nolen, Sandy Platz, Patti Taylor, Wendy Young
