OTHER ITEMS of MEMBER INTEREST:

 

SWEATSHIRTS: Due to cooler weather when we have clean-ups and sometimes planting day, this requires more clothing over our tee shirts. Karen Vatne knows a person in Linda’s dog group where this sweatshirt was offered. We’ll get the company’s name and details so that our members can also order these shirts. Our club would decide the color and logo but individual members can pick one of four style sweatshirts, order it, pay for it and have it shipped directly to their home. The club will have no hand in the ordering.
