The club grieves the loss of Lioness Betty Ford, who passed away late last week.
The club is thankful for the work from Boy Scout Troop 109 including the leaders. The club needed an advertising board to announce its events. Troop leader Robert Facella and fellow adults as well as Scouts responded and the board was in place in time for the club's flea market held earlier this month. With the help of Troop 109, the event was a huge success.
