News & Announcements

►Pioneers!   Do you know anyone that is ill, in a nursing home or hospital, or is a ' shut-in'
      at home?   As Pioneers,  we try to recognize them at Easter and Christmas, plus making
      phone calls to them at other times of the year. 
      Often, the only way we know about these Pioneers is by word of mouth.  PLEASE help us
      keep in touch with these Pioneers by letting Fran Yarrow know the details.  Don't assume
      that "someone else has already done it"....usually  they haven't.  It only takes a minute to
      send us an email.
      Also, if you know of a Pioneer who has recently passed away, please let us know as soon
      as possible.
