District conference is 4/15 at 9 am at NCCC ,if you plan on attending you need to register online.

Split club winner was Ron $12 and yours truly had another chance at the ace and I picked 9 of diamonds.

Our speaker Lynn gave us some important insight on hospice care. This is a subject we don’t wat to discuss until it’s a crisis. It is a health insurance benefit and 2/3 of the care is at home through  care givers. Palliative care is different as it is about treating the illness and is not life ending care.

Our fine master John asked for confessions and Phil is the proud grandfather as of today.

 Karen was a volunteer at Roswell and they asked her to speak to the staff as she is a dietician.

Pauls granddaughter won a gold metal in swimming.

John stumped us on some trivia and we now know that Marlon Brandos birthday is April 3rd.

There will not be a meeting on Apri 10. See you on the 17th.

Happy Easter!
