Martha Minutes by Martha E.

It was great to get back to the group this am! We had a good meeting with quite a few decisions made about the show.....July 2 (1-7pm) and 3 (10am-4pm), 2010, at the North Head Baptist Vestry. At the start of our planning meeting, Pastor Ford extended his thanks to us for our using the vestry, and of course, we returned the thanks. It is wonderful to have such a great venue to meet in every week. As I recall, Wendy F. suggested it way back in the fall of 2007, and we've be so fortunate to be able to use it!
