Whelen Spring Club Meets

The Whelen Springs EHC met Thursday, April 17th with nine members present. Roll was answered with their favorite time of day. Several answered with the evening, when their daily tasks were finished and they could sit back and relax. Those with young children agree it was when their kids got off to school and it was peaceful around the house.

Several members had finished their project for the Children's Hospital in Little Rock. The group had several caps, booties and teaching dolls ready to turn in while ther is still another that is trying to get that second bootie to match the first one! Oh well, there is still time for those of us who haven't finished. The members will hopefully begin their next project at their next meeting, May 15.

The program of Aprils meeting was closed with "I know something good about you." Each member was to say something good about one or more present. It wasn't hard at all for these ladies to come up with good things to say; for all one had to do was to look around at the smiling faces, the generous hearts and the hands that are always ready to help when needed.
