Roundabout Tulip Planting
Planting tulips in the roundabout pots will take place on 11/21 at 10:00 am. Six people are needed: Ollie, Keith, Lori, Dennis, Don Wolf, and Marty are planning to be there.
Those volunteers need work clothes, boots, gloves, and maybe hand tools for planting.
Ollie will have orange vests.

John distributed family lists to the shoppers: Patsy, Holly, Audrey, Connie and Marty, and John. Lyanne and Tate have offered to wrap the gifts if they are received by the first week in December.
