Greetings from Your President! Spring is officially here and we are sure ready for it! One clear sign is the anticipation we feel as the Apple Blossom Festival nears and our trees begin to burst with blossoms. I hope you can join us for our meeting on April 8 to meet the royalty and the award-winning AppleEttes. Dr. Alan Burke, WSSRA Executive Director, will also be joining us. |

Our May meeting will be extra special. Terry Valdez and Karen Rutherford will be here to share the new Charter School concept and we will also learn about the South Wenatchee Revitalization Project. We try to bring interesting programs to you but are always open to suggestions as to what you'd like us to present. Please think about who would welcome an invitation to attend our April meeting. A personal phone call from you could make all the difference. See you on April 8. Beverly Jagla, Unit President |
