President’s Message:  

            I am pleased to report our chapter is planning a variety of activates that will carry us through the July and August. These activities include a picnic, trip to Foxwoods museum, flintknapping and the Florist site. The officers and I hope you can participate in these events. Each of these events is discussed separately below. Very favorable comments continue to come in regarding the state conference. It appears it was one of the most successful in recent years. If I don’t see you during the summer I hope you have a wonderful summer.

            I look forward to seeing you at the upcoming events.

Therefore we will have to carpool. If you are interested in carpooling that day please contact Dave and Priscilla Johnson as soon as possible and provide them with the following information.
  1. How many in your family are going.
  2. Are you willing to drive?
  3. If you are willing to drive how many people can you take in your vehicle.
