Cora Cook will host the SALAD LUNCH this month on the 11th at noon. Please
call her at 479-2487 to RSVP. The lunch at Helen Howard’’s last month was
delightful, like “an afternoon in an English tea garden”. Helen, your
English Trifle was a delight to our senses. Thank you for such a delicious
and special dessert.

The International Dining Group will be notified when the next celebration is
to occur. Watch for the good news.

The Glorious Foods of Greece was the theme of February’s International
Dinner hosted by Floss and Mike Caskey , Barbara Day and Jim Dixon. The
wonderful food was enhanced by the lively conversation. It was a small
group of
ten.

The "Cabin Fever Celebration" was fun." We all learned some new things.
Our thanks to the presenters: Wonderful watercolors-Gael Murakami. Colorful
& fun quilting-Elizabeth Shapland, Tussie mussies-Nancy Klammer, Winter
birds & bird feeding-Judy Williams, and, Rita Osborn...a very interesting
genealogy story.
