sign-up sheet next week for anyone interesting in helping out.

wants to sign up for the Michigan District Golf Outing at the Red Hawk Golf

Glenn Mulder, a happy buck to

buck for my daughter who last Thursday gave birth to a 9 lb 5 oz baby boy…
our first grandchild.

granddaughter who was born on inauguration day, when I hear this is Obama’s
