Note this change of location.  We are no longer in the St Mary room, we are in Bridal room in the Church building, across the hall from the Priest's sacristy.

 We begin with the Rosary followed by the business part of the meeting.  Wear a mask and bring your personal hand sanitizer.  We will be required to social distance. It also helps to know approximately how many will attend, so please RSVP.  For those who cannot attend and still wish to participate, please send me your ideas before the meeting.
