Our President also showed an article from the newspaper, the Arizona Daily Star.

It is http://azstarnet.com/special/instantnative Try it. Everything you need to know, all on one site.

Several members compained about all the “spam” they are receiving in their email. This led to a discussion about emails that are meant to bilk you out of money.

Movie sign up sheets, for volunteers, to help set up the Fiesta Room, to clean up after and to pop the popcorn were well filled out. We still need helpers to set up tables and chairs for our meetings.
