Greetings to Leaders and others who may be interested.

Our President Denise has asked me to explore the possibility  of starting a 
committee to develop interests in seniors ‘ needs and interests. I know that 
most persons are busy but we are not touching most of the Florida population 
who are losing eye site and over 55. You don’t have to be that age either 
.Please get involved if you have interest.

I am looking at Thursday June 16 at 8pm. Please contact me if you are 
interested even if Thursday is not good for you but you have ideas that you 
are interested in sharing, please share with me.
