Best Fest Ever
YOU MISSED A TREAT.  The 5th annual Opti-Fest in the park, was on
time.  We had good food and entertainment.  Newly installed president
Mary M. Jones put on a show, to the tune played by the DJ.  When the DJ
played, "Hole In The Wall," Mary took over the floor. We know that when
she got home the stock in Ben-Gay went up. We would like to think Mable
Redic for her planning of this gala event.  Wanda Jones, won the first
prize, and you would have thought that she had won the lottery.  All of
this after Mable had instructed her to act civil. In you missed this one, set
your calender for October 2006.

"Mary Anne has gone to rest,
Safe at last on Abraham's breast,
Which may be nuts for Mary Anne,
But is certainly rough on Abraham."
