April meeting results

Our April meeting was a great celebration of the Easter (Spring) Season, with a box lunch and Crystal Rehn, owner of The Potting Shed, providing an interesting program on flower arrangements. See the pictures below this Blog.

There were over 35 members and friends in attendance to share the food and fellowship. The day began with a wonderful Easter devotion, planned by Iolyn Beers.

Looking ahead: The Pioneer Club will meet on May 14th and feature our excellent potluck lunch at 12:00 noon. Hostesses are Hazel Howe, Shirley Smith and Carolyn Poole.

There will be no formal program, so after lunch you will enjoy a time of fellowship and a few games of Bunco.

Also, keep July 9th on your calendar as that will be the date of our celebration of summer to be held at the Belvidere City Park.

Sincerely,
Ruth and Pastor John Harder

Our meeting on April 9th will have a wonderful theme for the day. Our presenter will be Crystal Rehn from The Potting Shed.

We need you to sign up on the bulletin board in the narthex. You can pay at the office or the day of the meeting.

Ruthe and I will be unable to be present for our May meeting. The Pioneer Club will meet on May 14th and feature our excellent potluck dinner.

The meeting on April 9th will have a wonderful theme for the day. Our presenter will be Crystal Rehn from The Potting Shed.

Ruthe and I will be unable to be present for our May meeting. We will be in Indonesia, so I am looking for volunteers to be hosts and perhaps to come up with an idea for the May program.

Also, keep the 9th of July on your calender reserved for us, as that will be the date of our CELEBRATION OF SUMMER. Hopefully, it will be in the Park again.

Remember, the Pioneer Club is your club. Let's celebrate it together!
