Hello Ladies-
I have something for those of you who are going up to the cities on the
April 5th to think about. We have been invited to see the hearing and
service dogs also.  However, they have the date as Sept. 22nd so I am
calling today.  Maybe it's moot.  But do we want to go and see them
after our tour? It's 40 minutes long but it's after lunch.  Think about
it. None of the sun ups were interest so we do have 5 slots open if
anyone has someone that would be interested.

Our bread bowl supper went very well!  I think you all do a great
job!!!!

Well, see you soon!
Have a very Blessed Easter!
Yours in Lionism,

President Tracy Braaten
