President Marc reminded us that Loaves & Fishes will be having a food drive starting April 1 and that members should bring canned goods to our Friday meetings in April.
Our date with Habitat for Humanity is still unsettled but likely to be sometime in May.
Savas Danos was our speaker for the day. He informed us of new state regulations that mandate that each community use only 65 gallons per person per day. This includes watering lawns in the summer and under drought conditions the rule may be applied to private wells since we all draw from the same aquifer.
The club secretary cannot read his handwriting or he would be able to report who won the drawing. No black marbles were picked however so the pot grows.
