Rosemary West seminar is coming up fast. I'm looking forward to it. Because Rosemary is here on Sunday and Monday we will not be having a general meeting on Saturday 16th, as several people will be attending her seminar in Syracuse. I hope to see you at our seminar. I'm busy getting my pieces prepped. Because of not having a meeting in May we won't have a meeting to discuss the picnic, so we will be doing a signup sheet via email. Please see the signup sheet on page 2 and respond to Betsy by June 1st so that she can have a count of people and what they are bringing. We can have a quick meeting at the seminar to discuss if needed. I'm looking forward to Betsy's garden, I think it will be a wonderful treat. A big thank you to JeanAnn for her great after meeting class in April. Sorry that I had to leave early. I'm looking forward to seeing what you all did. We still need table sponsors and Auction items for our luncheon in November. We could use several more.
