Once again, another successful meeting. Lots of fun and fellowship. I am soooo happy to see new faces each month. We had two new members come, Carolyn and Stacie. Also three members who have visited us once, came again!!! They must be having fun!
April, Maria and Debbie were stamping up a storm;
Rachel had a whole table to herself. She definitely spread out her stuff;
