Chris & Paulette Membership by Debbie Breese and Karen Johnson Hello Ladies, We had a wonderful turn-out for a meeting in the summer, with 31 in attendance. We have a new member Lisa Hyman, Elaine Kelly's daughter. We had one visitor, Glenda, from Beads Gone Wild. She is a friend of Judy Jensen's. Our next meeting is August 3rd. We will be having an Ice Cream Social. Hope to see everyone there. Debbie Breese Karen Johnson Ways & Means by I m back from the far North Pennsylvania and Ohio are still there! Really, some states are even hotter than here at home. Remember that at the August meeting we will be looking at the Zen Pumpkin project slates and voting on the best of the best. A small gift will be given to the winner. Also, bring your glass ornaments that we will vote the best of the best, and then a small gift will be given for this winner also. We will see the slates at the fall show and the ornaments will be on a tree for the raffle. Again, thank you all for your support in these two projects you are all great!
