Bring a whole lunch or grab a piece of fruit or granola bar on your way out the door and sit & visit for a few when we’re done.  It’s a great way to spend a morning\, and you’ll be home before noon!  Please RSVP\, and we will forward more details like suggestions on what to wear & what to bring as well as the city waiver that needs to be completed.  A headcount is needed\, so do reach out if you are in! \nRebecca Beiter\, bob.beiter@comcast.net
