The program of the day was on Scrapbooking by Fran Hulgan with others taking part. Fran started the program by explaining scrapbooking really began in primitive form over three hundred years ago. There are many ways to preserve, embellish and document our precious photographs and other keepsakes. Anyone wanting to get started can find many aids on the market today in stores and on the internet as well as consultants available to help those needing hands on instructions.

The meeting ended with refreshments and fellowship. Mary Jane Dennis and Sue Broyles were hostesses.
