Hello!

Dear Spouses, Instead of putting out a Newsletter once a month I will be updating our Blog as needed.  If you save us to Favorites you can check in for current information at anytime.  I will post updates and then just send out a quick email that the Blog has been updated so as not to clog up your email and desktop with massive files.  Only our Spouses may view this Blog, so you must be invited.  If you hear of one of our Spouses who has not been able to view our Blog, just make a comment with their email and I will send them an invitation.  My hope is that this will help us to stay current and connected as a Group. 

Thanks,

Heather
