Happy Spring to everyone.  I hope you have all been able to dig out from
under the snow.  It's almost time for the April meeting and we need a
head count for the meeting, for the Marshall House Tour and for dinner in
the evening.  Please give me a reply for each as soon as possible.  As
always, feel free to invite guests, spouses and potential members but
include them in the count.  Non members can attend one meeting before
joining SAPFM.  If you know a young person with an interest in
woodworking by all means, bring him or her to the meeting.
