October Auffle

 The Auffle is always a popular meeting as demonstrated by the great attendance by both members and guests.  There were 21 of us.  Guests included Gail's daughter Catherine who's visiting from Denver, Susan dropped in from the neighborhood center, Carmen, and Karen.  The usual 3 tables overflowed to a fourth!

A Thank You

Justine brought the card that she received from the organization who received the pet beds we made earlier this year.  We can continue to donate through Justine.
