President's Corner
Thanks again to Linda Dingee for coming to our rescue and presenting a great program at the February meeting.  She did a wonderful job as usual.
Hope everyone receives their newsletter before the March 11th Style Show.  I'd like to stress that in order for this fundraiser to be a success, we need all of you to come and bring a couple of guests.  The price is low and should be fun eating, visiting, and seeing some 
pretty new fashions.  We need to know in advance how many are planning to attend so we will know how much food to prepare.
If you don't have time to mail the reservation form, please call Waunita or me no later than Tuesday, March 7th.  Hope to see everyone there!

  Sincerely,
Shirley
