KAY’S KORNER
Kay Palko, President

Seventy-two ladies enjoyed a delicious luncheon while watching the serene ocean view. We will miss having luncheons at the Duck Inn. Eileen Mears (daughter of Mary Jane McCarthy) sang "The Star Spangled Banner". The only response when she finished was WOW.

Mrs. Mary Johnson shared her love and knowledge of the Chisholm Hospitality House, and how our Charities donation would be used.

At the business meeting, the motion to eliminate the July and January Meetings was defeated. So we will continue to hold these luncheons.

Two ladies will join the ROWS Board. JoAnn Clegg has agreed to take Publicity and Kim Fenn has agreed to help with decorations. We need someone for Activities, Historian, and Legislature.

Our BYLAWS state you have to have your dues in by June 30, to get your name in the yearbook... Did you make it? See you next month. Come-join in-have fun.

WELL DONE LADIES
Every member of ROWS should give a huge WELL DONE -THANK YOU to Ruth Geel for the outstanding job she has done as our treasurer for 2004-05.

Adrianna Grillo and Polly Ryner did an in depth audit on May 20 (projected to May 31-the end of our fiscal year) and found our financial condition to be in perfect order and in compliance with our budget
