Potluck Dinner June 20

Just to clarify a notice in the recent newsletter, ALL of you are invited to come to the potluck party hosted by Grace Levergood and the choir, in order to see Judy Frase and thank her for her 14 years of beautiful music given to us, and of course to visit with each other.  The party is on Sat., June 20th, beginning at 5:00pm.  A grill will be up and running.   We will provide plates, napkins, paper cups, cutlery, and  lemonade.  Otherwise, it's BYOB.  Please RSVP with an idea of the sort of thing you want to bring to share.  If needed, directions to Grace's house will be given upon receipt of an RSVP.  RSVP to Grace at:  glevergood@gmail.com or phone 942-8904;  or RSVP to Jo at:  jochase@metrocast.net or phone 942-8940.  Looking forward to seeing you there!
