There were quite a few announcements instead of singing at the start of the meeting. Marge circulated a card in memory of Palmer Sze. Rich reported that Joan was home from RIM and doing well.

Jerry reported on Cole Park May Day clean-up. There was a good turn-out by members, MHS Key Club and St. Vincent’s Martyr school. We had a nice time and this was a good project.
