SPECIAL APRIL MEETING -- Not our regular dinner...
We're trying something new! For our fabulous bi-annual Silent Auction meeting, instead of a sit-down dinner, we'll be serving lots of scrumptious hors d'oeuvres. This will allow more time for browsing and shopping. And, of course, we'll take time out to listen to our speaker, Michelle the Trainer, but won't be conducting our standard business meeting.*** NAVIGATORS AND LT MEMBERS: register with the regular Member button this month only.If you have items to donate for the Silent Auction, contact Darian Taylor: beautifulswissyou@yahoo.com
