MUSIC IN THE GARDEN

Hello Everyone: What a great team we had for Music in the Garden. On Saturday, a gang showed up at 7:00
a.m. to jump in and decorate for our annual event. When the lights came on Sunday evening, that was our
reward. It was lovely. Thanks for the good food, music was wonderful, and fun was had by all. Thank you to
our ci'tizens that donated their time including all the donations for the silent auction. I cannot thank you enough.
