Sunday Arboretum Walk, October 13, led by Dick Zerbe. Meet at 9 am at the Graham Visitors Center.
There is member interest in a Caregiver Support Group. Let me know if you’d like to be included.
I’ll be out of town mid-day tomorrow till late afternoon Friday, cavorting with some Wilder Horizons women at an Air BnB in Freeport on Whidbey Island. I’ll have my phone with me and can triage anything that doesn’t require finding files on a computer.
