2020 – For both September and October our ladies decided it would be more appropriate to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful fall weather as well as each other’s company! The city park by the library and across from the Old Court House was so lovely! Our topics were interesting, too: “13 Ways to Kill Your Community” and how we supported our local communities over the summer for September, and “Disorganization!” along with ideas on how not to fall into that…and for November we will be discussing “Accountability”.
