Newsletter: Annie Dennise needs articles and recipes by the last week of March for the newsletter. Annie also reported a sale at the former Iliff Public Library Site at Iliff and Peoria behind the Wallgreens store, Sunday March 21, 2010, from 10:00 to 4:00. Books really cheap due to library closings. Bring your own bags or boxes. Children/YA books- ten cents, Audio books- thirty cents, all other books- fifty cents.

Vice president: Sue Lewis reported the April program was canceled. The program in May will be Donna Marris who teaches at Guirys, demoing animal fur, eyes etc. The June museum trip to Fiddlers Green will be early in the day of our regular meeting and Sue is planning to set up a carpool.

Our program tonight involves making your own greeting cards. Four members each have a table set up to teach us to decorate cards. Each is in a different medium. Thank you to Annie Dennis, Char Bucher, Marlene Haviland and Sue Lewis for a fun evening.

There being no further business, it was moved by Annie Dennis to adjourn the meeting and seconded by Melinda Barnes. Meeting adjourned 8:00pm.
