PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Our October General Meeting was a success. it was great to see everyone that we had not seen since COVID. PRESIDENT Barbara Stancill
Vivian Vance, Chairman of Social, and her committee, did an outstanding job on the delicious
meal they prepared and also came up with a great plan for social distancing and staying safe. Jackie Blackburn decorated the auditorium in beautiful fall colors. Ron Jensen, Mayor, was our speaker and enlightened us on what was going on in the City of Grand Prairie. It was truly a great day. Many thanks also to Sara Dedeluk and one of her staff for taking our temperatures. Thanks also to Sara for printing our programs. Thanks to Brenda Skinner for hand delivering our yearbooks to us. She has worked very hard on them this year. I truly appreciate my Executive Committee Members and all the hard work they do. Our Christmas Auction is coming up on December 4. Please be sure and support this worthwhile cause as it is one of our biggest fundraisers. Everyone stay safe.
