Old Business
Many events were enjoyed by sisters this summer. Janel and Linda enjoyed their trip to Baltimore this past summer to attend and present at the Northeast Regional Convention. Linda hosted a pool party that was great fun. The ladies had a wonderful day at the beach at Rose's place in Strathmere. The River Cruise was much enjoyed by those who attended. Delta and Xi had a blast at the winery and are looking forward to another outing in the Spring.
New Business
Gail will continue to send information about our trip to NYC in the Spring. We will need to know show choices early to get the tickets at the discounted rate. Please respond and join in the fun!
