Planning Upcoming Activities

Lonny Kramer recently volunteered to help manage our website. He doesn’t have any experience with websites or WordPress pages, but is putting his best effort into the task. Now, onto the real message….We apologize for not updating the site for a long time, but we are still working for you. We are researching multiple activities we can sponsor throughout the next 12 months and will soon present the activities and schedule. Please be patient with us. In the meantime, every member can offer to host an informal get together at any time, just to keep us all in the mindset of getting our families together. Have a great Fall and Happy Halloween!!!
