[Choir] Fwd: Dave Grundy

[Mary Alice Bisbee]

Hi all,  In talking with Darlene yesterday when I visited her, she really
wants to attend the Church Fair for lunch.  Perhaps we can talk tonight
about who could pick her up, bring her, and then return her to Lincoln
House after lunch and whether it is feasible.  Janet is probably the best
point person on this.
I do hope to drive Fran to choir tonight.
