this year has been very hard on a large number of our members.
I (Dana) am “suggesting” that we not exchange Yule Gifts this year.
Instead, spend that money on your personal family, save it for Gulf War or
donate it to a worthy cause of your choice. We can exchange hugs and share
our baked goodies!!

I think that’s all folks!!
