May
Last month Spring arrived
and has given us some perfect weather to be out in the yard. Time to get all the planting and pruning done
before warmer weather hits - and we know it will!
May 1st and 2nd we attended the GFWC/Iowa State
convention in Ankeny, Iowa. I would like to personally thank the Ankeny Woman's Club for all their hard work.
They put together some incredible goodie bags and were the perfect hostesses.
If you missed the convention you also missed out on some
great speakers and presentations. Carlene Garner, President-elect GFWC, gave us valuable information both days of the
convention. The musical entertainment was superb and the Membership and Domestic Violence presentations memorable.
I managed to learn a few more names and faces this year and I appreciate your friendship. I had fun this year
and look forward to the next state convention with a newer perspective.
