some more items, especially photos.) If you're in the area on
Memorial Day, please come to the Community Center to
view it. You will also be able to get a light lunch

What you can do to prevent cross connections and
keep your drinking water safe: Check your faucets to be
sure that all faucet endpoints are above the flood level of
the sink, tub, basin, or other apparatus they supply.
The Boardman clan celebrated Mary's 60th birthday with
a weekend camping trip to Branched Oak Lake. Too bad the
weather couldn't have been better, but on a happier note,
she was totally surprised! Four down and one to go.
