Call out to all to recommend ideas for the BG. Let me know if you have a thought of something that would make it better. Also send info about immediate family doings. We really are interested in things that interest you. I'm presently doing research on a way to have a blog where you all will be able to comment without the need to register. It will take some work because when I set it up I will have to transfer everything from here. I think it will be worth it and believe you guys will comment more if you don't have to sign in to do so.
Don't forget there will be an appreciation program for Lawrence (Gobber) held at Mt. Sinai on Saturday, February 14th. This is also Valentine's Day!

President's Day is Monday, February 16th.

February is Black History Month. It's also Mardi Gras month. This year Mardi Gras starts on February 24th.
