From the Director

Dear Friends,

What can be said of the month of March? There are shamrocks and leprechauns and oh, those early crocuses too. Spring is well on its way to us and we are rejoicing in it.

With the nice weather coming our way, it is the perfect time to join us for our wonderful activities. We begin the month with an Oscar’s Party, followed on the heels with a Revolutionary War lecture on March 6^th, Exploring Ukrainian music on the 13^th and many, many more interesting programs.

If you have not visited us lately, this spring is the time to do that.

Be well,

Laine Nauman

Director
