Linda Hall had the program today. She presented the TOPS Varity Show. Several of our members displayed their talents by reading poems provided by Linda. Linda closed her program with a quote: “You can do what you think you can do and you can’t do what you think you can’t do.”

She then gave each member two cards, one for them from her and one for them to pass on to a friend.

Thank you, Linda Hall, for a great program!

Laura read a letter from Claudia. Fall Rally is Oct. 8. She is excited for this; we expect a good turnout. Carpools have been arranged. If you need a ride, contact Laura or Linda H.
