February News - 2015

MCS MEETING FOR TOMORROW FEBRUARY 1 IS BEING CANCELLED

We have decided to cancel the meeting tomorrow because of the snow.  Since we do not
know if the weather will be worse in the morning or afternoon Maureen decided we should
cancel for the safety of all members. We also had to consider the photographer coming all
the way out and not knowing how many people would show up.  We are hoping to be able
to add him in to the March meeting.  We will send an update later this month.
Be safe and we'll see you in March.
