“Your Community Bulletin Board for Members Only”
Would you like to let other club members know about an upcoming event, garden party, or your garage sale? Do you have a bread maker that has added to your waistline and you now want to sell it? Are you looking for an exercise bike?
If YES, email the details, (with photos if you have them), to the editor and we’ll include your info here. As we publish the newsletter on our website, be aware that your posting will appear on the web as well as the newsletter.
