New
Business
Fred Fraser asked if the women
wanted a tour doing "women things" without the men complaining.
"YES" was the women's answer. Several suggestions
were made such as a nursery tour, antique tour, tea, and teaching wives to
drive. Wanda volunteered to check our VanWingerden Greenhouses to see if
they would let us tour them and tea at a place in Sunnyside. More later if
this pans out.
Wanda told of the Sawyer Mansion in
Sawyer, Washington, tour that was this past weekend. Very interesting
tour.
Marlene read the dangers of a little
green garden snake. Very funny. Thank you Marlene.
With nothing more to come before the
members, the meeting was adjourned. A birthday cake was brought by Jane
Armstrong in celebration of May's birthday's and Russ upcoming knee
replacement.
Respectively Submitted, Wanda
Stokes, Secretary
