LEADER'S MESSAGE

Hello & Happy April, Kosmos Friends!

First, a big "THANK YOU" to Claudia T. for the great St. Patrick's Day Party that she hosted at her home. She had her house festively decorated for the occasion. We had a great turnout of members who provided delicious side dishes to complement the traditional corned beef and cabbage. We had a lot of fun playing games and visiting throughout the day.

I don't know about you, but I am so excited to see the trees start to bud and tulips and daffodils waving their heads in the breeze. Winter always seems to last so long, but I believe it's to make us really appreciate the beauty that Spring brings.

In that spirit, I hope that you will attend our annual Spring Fling taking place on the 11th. Details are in this newsletter, so please come and enjoy a great time and good food!

—Donna W., Kosmos Leader

"...When all at once I saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils, beside the lake beneath the trees, fluttering, and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine and twinkle on the Milky Way, they stretched in never-end line along the margin of a bay: ten thousand saw I at a glance, tossing their heads in a sprightly dance."

—William Wordsworth
