[Md-sligo] Chapter meeting and events

[Janice Toothman]

Hi Debbie,
I can work at the Greenbelt Nut Salt.  Please let me know the times.

When will we be able to order nuts and can we pick them up at the nut sale?

I will also send my scholarship list within the next day or two.  I have 
to decide what I want to bake.
Janice
