MYSTERY BOOK CLUB
Plans are pending, but we need your input. Were you a member of the Mystery Book Club in the past and wish it would continue? Are you interested in participating in a new Mystery Book Club? If the answer is "yes" either of these questions and you would like to be a part of making it happen, please contact Barb (j_bbruemmer@comcast.net) or Marion (mkboike@msn.com). Thank you!

LUNCH BUNCH
Lunch Bunch has always been one of our most popular activities. But in our new normal, we need to get creative. So we're asking for volunteers to explore our options. If you'd like to help, please contact Marion (mkboike@msn.com) or Barb (j_bbruemmer@comcast.net).
