Members:
Hi, Gang! Here is the April Newsletter. We need to get our "Tell a Friend" new membership campaign up and going with everyone's help - let's all see about inviting a friend to a meeting. There will be prizes awarded for the member that invites the most friends to our meetings during the year. They don't have to become members to qualify. We will be striving to make our meetings more fun and interesting for everyone. So let's all get into a group spirit and invite some one you know to our meetings. Thanks.
Pete Addeo,
Webmaster & President
Missoula Iris Society
