*** My apologies to all!  I told Mary that I would get her bulletin out while she enjoyed adventures in Europe.  Then the computer gremlins struck and I had to get a new router.  Dennis***

Saturday, October 24, Tom & Barbara will work on the elements presented by  Kenny Bell .  The class will be at 11 a.m.   Cost of the class is $10 , unless you were at and paid for the class with Kenny, in which case the class was paid for then. 

 

Until later, Mary
