PRESIDENTS’ MESSAGE: What better way to start our series of programs than with a speaker from one of the schools that receives our school supplies! Margaret has invited Lynn Mixon from Queen’s Creek Elementary to speak to us about how the program has benefited their school and what items might fit their particular needs this year. Please come to hear Lynn on October 23 at 6:30 p.m. at Swansboro Town Hall. Thank you to Margaret for our speaker and the meeting location!
Connie and Evelyn
