Valentine's Day Gathering

Yummy strawberry dessert!
Mary Thrift  began our meeting with CCREA business:
Reminders:
Tuesday, April 18, Mayor Tecklenberg will be our speaker
Tuesday, May 16, Scholarship Luncheon (everybody is bringing salads!)

Member Information:
Theresa Johnson's daughter is here now instead of Atlanta and she is in remission. Her husband is having surgery.

Joan Gaetke read the minutes from our January meeting.  Maleeta Ennis told us that we had 38 present including 5 visitors. Judy Jordan gave the treasurer's report.

Mary thanked the West Ashley Culinary Arts Class for preparing our wonderful lunch.  Then, Dustin Chavis entertained us with three songs: "Some Enchanted Evening,"
 " Bali Hai,"  and "What I Did For Love." It was wonderful. I remember that when in high school (yes, we had an actual high school!) our chorus group sang "Some Enchanted Evening" for the Miss Bishop England Pageant. Boy, was I nervous!!
After our wonderful music the members were asked to compose a poem for Valentine's Day. The winner was Mary Ferguson. Her poem was quite interesting.
Look forward to seeing you all in April!
P.S. Are we meeting permanently at this site??
