MY APOLOGIES
To Celeste Alvarez for misspelling your last
name in last month’s newsletter.
Unfortunately, when I heard your name over the phone, I didn’t ask how
it was spelled and thought I heard a different name. Sorry, Celeste. Apologies also to Grant Barrie who I somehow
thought was named Frank! Sorry,
Grant. That’s my quota of mistakes for
the rest of the year……….I hope! J
I've changed the blog posting order and wonder which you, the reader prefer. The news part first or the calendar? You may email me at ritzythings@gmail.com. In the subject line in bold put EAGLES BLOG! If you have pictures you'd like to share with the group, they are very easy for me to post. You can email them to me with a note of who, what, where and when and I'll be happy to add them to our blog.
Thanks everyone! We had 161 page views last month! Can we break 200 this month? Ritzy Ritzhaupt, Eagles blogger.
