Sunshine Committee
In need of a little sunshine? If you know someone in our guild that needs cheering up (maybe in the hospital or had a death in the family) or (is getting married or having a milestone birthday), let Brenda know at auckersapiary@verizon.net and she will pass this along to the Sunshine Committee (JoAnn L, Jean and Jackie) to let our friends know we care.
