I just got back from a lovely luncheon at the Oakland House. What a beautiful day to visit a beautiful old house in the Affton area. It seems like time is starting to pass quickly now that spring is here and Easter is over. But we have a lot of places to go this spring and early summer. I hope you will consider joining us for these trips.

Don’t forget to sign up for Warm Springs Ranch trip on Monday, May 9. The bus leaves at 9:30 a.m. We will eat lunch and then go to visit the Clydesdales. And I think there will be some young ponies there as well! The cost of the tour is $16.00 and transportation is $5.00. You will also have to buy your lunch and might want to bring a snack for the bus. We will not be back until 6:00 p.m., at the earliest.

All are invited to attend the Legacy Banquet on Saturday, May 14 at 6:00 p.m. and don’t forget to invite some friends in the church who do not normally attend our activities. Guests are also welcome. The Banquet will be held in the Dining Room, and the cost for this great evening is only $12.00; you will pay at the door. Signups end on May 8, so we can get the proper amount of food. If your name is on the list on May 8, you will be expected to pay even if you can’t attend because we will already have ordered food. Dress is casual.

Our June activities are the Heritage Museum in St. Charles on Thursday, June 9 at 10:00 a.m. Lunch will be at Lewis and Clark’s. And you are invited to celebrate my birthday with me on Friday, June 24, at Josephine’s Tea Room in Godfrey, Ill. Mark your calendars for these upcoming events and don’t forget to sign up! See you in church Sunday!
