Work Day - April 30

It was a good day, although not many showed up! Virginia and I (Raylene) have blisters on our hands from working so hard. . . and we won't even talk about poor Fred's and Jerry's backs. The four of us concluded we are too old for this! Sure would welcome some help next Saturday..... Thank you Jen for the sandwiches!

I SEE WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF FOLKS LOOKING AT THE CAR SHOW FLYER!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE COME JOIN IN THE FUN! WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU BRING YOUR CAR AND SHARE OUR ACTIVITIES. WE'RE WORKING HARD!
