President Karen welcomed all to the April 25, 2023 club meeting held at the Crown Point Country Club.
For our inspirational moment, Sue Dowdell offered this quote from artist Edward Giobbi:
"I think that no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring. Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature's rebirth?"
Taylor Drinker, Membership and Events Director of the Springfield Regional Chamber of Commerce, provided details about the upcoming Green Up Day on 5/6. For more info, click here.
