New Business: Marquerite Thayer's physician relayed the wonderful news that she has "mended well."  Regaining strength via home workouts with a visiting physical therapist has her in the final phase ensuring a more complete recovery.  Her "goal" is to be among us and host our board meetings in her home once again and soon!  She is striving for our next meeting in June.  All present continue to send her their good wishes and words of encouragement.
