in coffee pods. Seriously; we congratulated Tom Croft who was elected to

of her MC gig to make a special (and heartfelt) thanks to Joan Peggs and
Lorna Curtis. Seems like the "Bobbsey Twins" were a BIG help at ZONE
CONFERENCE and thereby helped to MAKE JOAN HAPPY. 600 Rotarians and guests
attended and probably helped the local economy quite a bit.

cognac) for $25.00 each.
