• Margaret spent 5 days in Rhode Island attending a wedding.
• Nancy had a nice trip to Florida.

• Cindy had a happy buck just for being at the meeting.
• Dave Read took a quick trip to Virginia, got to see his granddaughter’s first communion, and 2 lacrosse games (one for each grandson).
• Bill had a happy buck for one of our guest students, Bailey Cole.  Bailey is our club’s outbound exchange student for next year, going to Thailand.  Bill says she really ran the show at the district conference and did a great job.
• Joan’s granddaughter just graduated from Nazareth with a B.S. degree.

Our guests from the Interact Club presided over this week’s meeting, an annual tradition.  Pictured above Leah, Rachel, and Matt provided us with an update on this year’s activities.  They have been very active and have helped out the community with their projects, including 3 successful blood drives.
