We celebrate our 50th year in 2013/2014, and wished to commemorate the milestone on our invitation. Designer Brenda Adams, pictured at right, below, once again donated her expertise and created our invitation cover with a bright banner highlighting the anniversary. Also pictured are, from left, members Bev Christians and Patti Quinn:
