June is Membership Renewal time and also time for all of us to get together for our Potluck Salad Supper.

We (the Steering Committee) are asking YOU, the members to bring a macaroni, rice, lettuce/cabbage, fruit or Jell-O salad. The Steering Committee will bring the desserts, breads, & lemonade.

We will meet at 6pm on Thursday, June 2nd at the 1208 CenterPoint* condos. Both North & South doors will be open. Dishes, cups, utensils, napkins, lemonade or water will be provided. Serving utensils will also be provided.

north or south doors. Questions regarding location or

directions, call Donna at 320-1415.

Our 27th Annual Garden Tour The 27th Garden Tour is Wednesday, July 20th 4-8PM, so be sure to clear your schedule. We need everyone to participate in this event and even ask you to recruit a friend, former member, or family member to assist if needed. Letters of invitation have been sent to five prospective host couples. Kelly Krein, Chairperson, is hoping at least four of the five will be ready to show as they indicated last summer that they should be ready if there were no conflicts. Kelly will report on that at the meeting. If all goes well with securing the sites, we can get the tickets, posters, schedules, etc done early and that would be great since she will be gone from June 17th – 26th.

Su

You are encouraged to sign-in more than one place if you are able (- i.e. bring bars and work at a garden location or maybe work both first and second sessions at a location instead of just one. If you can also recruit a friend or family member list them also. Work # 1 is the first session - 4:45 to 6:30; Work # 2 is the second session - 6:20 to 8:00

Reception is at the Arts Center - We need TWO for each work time. The first time slot will be mainly setting up, the second includes clean-up at the end.

We'll need 8 or 9 people to each provide 2 doz. bars or cookies.

Sample sign-up sheet:

If you know what, when & where you want to help, pick up that phone & call Kelly Krein (Home 252-4107 or Work 252-4690) RIGHT NOW!!! There will be a sign-up sheet at the next meeting, June 2nd.

Memorial Day marks the opening of Frontier Village for the summer. The schoolhouse, which is AAUW’s project, is being cleaned Friday, May 27th. (Thanks to Joan Enderle for making arrangements.) We still need someone to help with the afternoon ‘staffing’ at the schoolhouse. One or two coordinators are needed to help with the calendar. The retired teachers are helping, but we need to step up to help staff it. If you could be that person(s), contact Joan Slusser or Kelsey Murray. The old ND map for school house is being prepared for display by the Frame Shop. More info on this at the June meeting!

AAUW BOOKSTORE – WOW! Great news! We are close to re-opening our bookstore! No definite date, but the second week in June has been “tweeted” about by a little bird! Far ahead of schedule!!
