Note from the Secretary:

 

Seminar was amazing and so much fun, what a great turn out! Thank you to all that could make it. Randy really enjoyed his Pretty Pink Princess 50th Birthday Party with pink plate, a princess cake and a tiara (and yes he had to wear the tiara). Thank you, thank you, thank you to Rebecca and TJ Towns for handling the salad dish we brought to pass and for the amazing breakfast that they prepared. Thank you to everyone that brought food.

 

Our February 1 meeting at Hickory Lounge was canceled because of snow.

 

Before I give you the ins and outs of the meeting, everyone needs to know that we have moved the VFW Hall meeting (Genesee County) to Foutch’s Pub, 1477 S Linden Rd Flint, 48532.
