front and share about their children and grandchildren.

and $1,025 for the van fund. 

	Fund Raiser 

	Krispy Kreme fundraiser is well on its way. If you need more 1 dozen

have 54 tickets left and 1 BOGO left. Please remember to turn in your
money from the sale of the tickets as it is collected. Thank you for
everyone’s hard work.

call Ike before the meeting next month to let him know you will be
attending and want the dinner. The meal next month will be fried

collected before the meal as is the previous practice.

	Please know that the cutoff for the chapter dues has passed. If you
still need to pay your dues, there is $1.00 fee added each month until
they are paid.  

	Have you been confused on who you should send an email if you have a
question? I know I have heard from several members saying they have
encountered this dilemma. In order to reduce future confusion, a new
email address has been created to seek information from the secretary
or treasurer. The new email address is Nfbsc.columbia at gmail.com [1].
We look forward to hearing from you! 

	We look forward to seeing you at our next chapter meeting on June
9th, 2022! At this time, we plan to meet face-to-face unless numbers
begin to rise. Our desire is to keep everyone safe and healthy.
