Greetings from Your Presidents! February Greetings! We hope you will join us March 9th. Our guest speaker will be Christina Davitt - an Attorney and Certified Professional Guardian. In addition to her Estate Planning presentation, our State President, Pam Francis, will also share a few words. Our unit has agreed to join GWATA (Greater Wenatchee Area Technology Alliance) which provide STEM workshops for teachers and helps deliver used computers to students who have limited computer access. In our recent state magazine, 'The Journal', you may have noticed four of our members who were chosen to grace the cover. This photo was taken at the Veteran's Day parade in Wenatchee. On page 11 in 'The Journal', there is a Health Survey. You are encouraged to complete this survey which can be completed and mailed, or submitted online.
