FOR OUR SICK AND SHUT-INS
Love is a flower that blossoms with years;
Love is the laughter that dries lonely tears.
Love is the blessing the Father imparts;
Love is the music we hear in our hearts.
TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY
Every time someone asks you to do something,
ask if they want fries with that.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
May you visualize the smell of pretty flowers and a rainbow of colors.

Answer in the March notice
FROM THE SECRETARY
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone that paid their 2012 dues. There are still some members that have not paid and therefore cannot attend a meeting without a current dues card. Please check to make sure you have a WHITE 2012 Dues Card.
If you are celebrating a milestone birthday please let me know so that we can put it in our notice.
FROM THE WEST
Our last fund raiser as Associate Matron and Associate Patron is the Bake-less Bake Sale. This is done so that our members that live away or those that can't make the meetings along with our faithful members, can support the chapter by making a donation instead of having to bake something. Once again we thank everyone for helping us make the money to keep our chapter able to meet our expenses.
In Star Love,
Nat and Tom
FROM THE EAST
Bob and I wish you all a great year. This month we think of our sweethearts and family. Please stay warm and don't forget we have boards to help you financially if you need assistance in these cold months.
Love to all,
Evelyn and Bob
NOTE TO OUR SISTERS AND BROTHERS
Please be sure to keep us informed of any joy, sorrow or illness, so that our members may be remembered appropriately.
A very warm welcome is extended to Sisters and Brothers from all other Chapters.
