Our digital videographer, Doug C, has a knife sharpening business. If you bring your blades that need sharpening, he will return them to you in like- new condition for a reasonable price.  
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 
(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 and Jean D) to let our friends know we care.
Don't forget to save your flower, herb and vegetable seeds for the Bloomsburg Seed Library. They can be dropped off at the Bloomsburg Public Library or give to Diana B. Sorted seeds are available at no cost.
