Wharton Center Show
We are coordinating our group to get together and attend a Saturday afternoon show at the Wharton
Center. Tickets are $8 each. Please contact Dawn Tomlin @ 517-575-4308 or tomlineagle@yahoo.com, if you are interested in attending. Dawn will arrange to get the tickets ordered so we are all in the same seating

Thanks for Coming Out to the Annual Winter Festival!
On Saturday, many of us enjoyed a nice afternoon of visiting with each other, meeting some new families
and watching the kids enjoy the cupcake walk. All of the chili entries were delicious and this year's grand
prize winner of the chili cookoff was Krista Baumann - Congratulations Krista! Thank
you, Jodi Wiley, for organizing this fun event!
