Tail Twister today was Tom. Happy Dollars from Brian $40, Kelly $30, Marge $10, $5 each from Mary R., David L., Joyce, Mary Miller. Tom had many questions for us from recent headlines in the newspaper.  All wrong answers were $5 fine and most of us didn't know the answers. So our club made out very well.  The best part was we had fun.

Marge has retired from making birthday bags for East County Meals on Wheel.  Two wonderful people came forward and said they will take over.  Thank you so much Mary Jo and Teri. And a big thank you to Marge for all the years of service to Meals on Wheels.

growing up in Berlin during the war.
