January Members Meeting: Our January 28th Member “Meet and Greet” at the Morean Arts Center was fantastic! It was the best
turn out of membership in years. There was good food and wine, wonderful music from a local harpist, fantastic artwork, and most of all great friendships made and renewed. Clara Ricker, President gave an introduction addressing what our chapter does for its membership. FSG’s founder Phil London and his wife Vickie were also there. All those present participated in a survey designed to identify memberships needs and facilitate planning for the Chapters future. Each member that completed a survey at the event was eligible for a chance of winning one of 3 door prizes. Congratulations to Ann Anders, winner of the Wildacres Retreat gift certificate. Two $50 Rio Grande gift certificates were also awarded. A very special thank you to all who participated.
