Saturday, March 15th, eight of us drove up to Tallulah Falls School for the 9th District meeting.  This spring meeting is when the clubs in 9th district are recognized for the hard work they have done in the past year.  Each of our department chairmen send in a report by the end of January and a committee judges these reports.  This year we received a second place for Home Life Department and second place for Education Department.  We were judged in the 50 and under clubs this year.  In my book, all of our departments should have gotten a first place because all of you did fantastic jobs.  We did win a silver pitcher given by the Winder Woman's Club for outstanding Club Safety.  Carrie Fishback won second place for one of her beautiful oil paintings and Kathy Hill won Honorable Mention for basket weaving.  Congratulations to you all. 

If any of you have some suggestions for our committee chairmen that you think might be a good project, please let them know.  I'm sure they would appreciate your input. 

The centerpieces that Monika Wegner purchased and decorated for us were beautiful and everyone enjoyed them.  Jack and I took the eight plants that our club paid for, to the Laurel Baye Health Care home this past Sunday and hand delivered each plant to a patient.  They were so delighted.  One gentleman wanted me to leave it in bed with him instead of on his table.  We left one in the lobby for all the patients to enjoy.

April is Tour of Homes month and Gayle and Terri have been working very hard to pull it all together.  Things are really falling into place.  This is where the funds for all the wonderful projects we do for the year come from and I think everyone is working hard to make this a success.  I thank all of you for this.  Also, I thank all of you for your support and encouragement as I begin my term.  You are a great group of ladies.

Love to all,

Sandra Huff
