PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. . . . .

Greetings! Isn't it nice to see Minnesota turn green!

I am so pleased to see the final numbers for our Global Event and our Poinsettia sales. $8,000+ for these two endeavors is just great. Together we do wonderful work which enables us to generously reach out to many.

Our year end reports will be due by May 15. Please start reviewing and noting your accomplishments to share with me for completing these reports. It has been a very busy year and we have been very successful.

We will have our Jane Klausman recipient at our April meeting and our Young Woman in Public Affairs recipient at our May meeting. They are
both very accomplished young women. Do invite prospective members and friends to come and meet them.

I will be attending the Area Meeting and will give an overview at our April meeting.

I look forward to seeing everyone at our April dinner meeting.
