There was no old business
Next Meeting- is June 9th, 2011 at the Jerry and Bernadette Perrou’s house. The Perrou’s have a beautiful yard with huge specimen Hostas. Glen suggested that only cookies or similar snacks be brought to this meeting as there will be no tables, people should bring their own water or soda, and that people car pool as the parking is not good at the location. Glen is to check with Vienna Greens Golf Course to see if we can park there and walk to the Perrou’s.
Meeting dismissed at 8:00 PM
