JUNE MEETING HIGHLIGHTS
The meeting was called to order by Joann.  Helen is taking minutes and doing the news letter this month
for Diane.

The outing was wonderful.   We had a coin hunt and  a great potluck after the hunt.  For those of you
who missed and/or did not know of it, you missed a great time!  Everyone that hunted found a prize token!
It was the longest appreciation hunt we have ever had.  Everyone stayed and talked to each other long
after the potluck was done.

We will be putting on another hunt and potluck the last of September.  We are inviting the coin club to
join us for our potluck.

We will be meeting at Denny's Hwy 395 in Kennewick on July 10th for breakfast at 8 am. and a hunt
afterward.  While eating breakfast we will decide on were to hunt. If you do not want to eat breakfast
meet us in the parking lot a 9 am.  We will not leave the parking lot until 9 am.

Mark you calendar Dec. 4th at 6 o'clock will be our Christmas party at the Kennewick library.
