When Last We Met
 Our April meeting was the lamb feast.  It was attended by 31adults and 3 children.  We had 2 guests: Anita White and Ingrid Kraus.  
 Sandy McGregor, Sue Airth and Alise Dilworth were the set-up crew.  They got everything ready for “Happy Hour” and our meal of lamb, vegetables, salads, breads and desserts.  
 Ted Johnson led us in our singing.  The songs were En Gang Jag Seglar I hamm; Kostervalsen; 
En Sjöman Älskar havets våg, and our great finale: Hålsa dem därhemma.
 Ed Unser was the stand in treasurer.  Don Lundquist was out of town.  Ed reported that the new memorial songbooks were in and the new nametags are ready to be delivered.
 Larry Leonardson, our president, led the business meetings.  He is working on some links to our website.  Swedish classes are beginning again.  The first one is this Saturday at Kjerstin Bertelrud’s home.  There is a need for greenery (& flowers) for the June Midsömmar meeting.  There were several “thank-yous” to the members.  Gladys Nelson thanked everyone for their condolences concerning Elva Giordano, the Unser family sent a card and Sue Airth thanked everyone for the cards when she was ill. 
   Nellie Leonardson led the children in the very
popular bead melting craft.  They made beautiful fish magnets.
 We ended with the raffle.  Diane Newlon sold many tickets and the table was full of prizes, including pots of lambs ear plants.  Many went home with a prize.  Most everyone helped in the clean up and the meeting was over.    
   Respectfully Submitted,
    Merrie Jo Milner
 

CHILDREN’S CORNER
The children’s craft this month is a repeat from last month. I will be purchasing larger bead boards as the children would like to add to their other creations. In June we will once again be making the  popular Midsömmar pole.  Dried flowers and tiny ribbons will be needed, please donate these items if possible. Time permitting the children may also be painting ceramic ducks as they will have the ducks in the ponds as models.
