Special Announcement: We are moving

After celebrating week after week for 10 years, PISD is asking us to move over to Sigler on Janwood.  Apparently it is quite expensive to A/C the large cafetorium at Vines.  Sigler will be more economical.  September 6 we begin our new adventure.

True?  

 Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely

 in a pretty and well preserved body,

 but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out,    

and loudly proclaiming,

                                           —WOW— What a Ride !

                                      Sandra and Nina.

See you this Sunday.
