March Meeting
We held our monthly March meeting at Rock'N Coals in Bellingham. We had a St. Patrick theme, so everyone dressed up in their best green. We had the induction of a new member, Heather, by our president Kristine Shanahan. She was sponsored by lion Maribeth. We had a fun game with Fruit Loops by our Tail Twister Cheryl. Maribeth was our big winner.
