The February Potluck Fundraisers are right around the corner. February we have 2 fundraiser potlucks both at Lynn Heinrich’s home at 759 Avocet Way, (Cypress Ridge), Arroyo Grande. Wednesday, February 26th at 12 noon – luncheon. Thursday, February 27th at 6pm – dinner – men welcome at this one! Evites have gone out. You only need to respond to one of them. This is an experiment as the group is getting so large that we're trying to see if splitting it up might help.
