ALSO, don't forget to submit your nominating letter (any member can do
this)  for the  Clarke Cosgrove Youth Achievement Award to Jean Morris
before the holidays - details in the "just received" AIS Bulletin. Let's
give these kids a pat on the back!

And, yes Rusty, I think that project would make a great program.

Enjoy the re-bloom - winter arrived here tonight again.
