It’s early yet, but if you would like to share some of your favorite plants by donating them to the second annual plant, bake and book sale and soup luncheon scheduled for May 18 at Johnson Park, please contact Penny Gregory or me. During that event we will also be showcasing the work of one of our talented artists from Grays River, Beverly Wallace. She has some very interesting paintings and we welcome her generosity in sharing them.

The Wednesday Senior Lunch Bunch meets each week at the Rosburg Hall for a delicious meal prepared and served by Pat Potter and her volunteer crew. On Tuesdays and Thursdays senior lunches are also provided at the same location and they are sponsored by CAP.
