Happy New Year and Happy New Decade! January 2020 is moving forward. Hoping you have gotten back on track after all the holiday celebrations.
We had a fun Holiday Party at Marlene's home in December. The catered meal from Red Lobster in Perry was wonderful. The evening was filled with lots of good conversation and holiday bingo. Generous donations were shared with several organizations. Thanks to all for a great night!
Our program speaker will be Marle Usry who is Billy Carter's daughter and Jimmy Carter's niece. She is the Educational Program Specialist for the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site so should provide an interesting program. Invite a friend.
Hope to see you at the next meeting.
