Mindy's Musings
Note from the publisher: Mindy submitted the column on December 22, 2021.  
 
It is so hard to believe that we recently held our last meeting for 2021. And to prove that Christmas miracles do happen, Michael Turnipseed was in attendance. Sandra Parnell recited our beautiful holiday invocation and Harry Bryant led us in our flag salute. New member Robert Provencio was awarded his blue badge.

Help STILL Wanted - Beacon Writers
AND YET WE STILL HAVE OPENINGS FOR A WRITER!!!
 
Beacon writer extraordinaire Frank Wooldridge has a monthly conflict wherein he is unable to attend our meetings on the fourth Wednesday of each month. This means that you, yes  you have the opportunity to serve your club by writing a Beacon column.  You can put as much or little meeting detail as you want in the column. Once you have the column written, just send me (Kay Pitts) a Word document.  I take it from there (putting in photos, checking name spellings, etc.)
ANYONE CAN DO THIS!!!!   It really is pretty painless!
 
We need writers for the following dates. Pick one date, pick more, it is up to you! Just let me know your selection.
February 23, May 25, June 22

    Peace is not something you wish for;
    It's something you make,
    Something you do,
    Something you are, &
    Something you give away.
