September 2019 - During
our breakfast meeting this morning, Judy shared with us a place she and Pat
visited last year in Maine. It is called
the Franciscan Guest House. They really
had a wonderful time and thought members of our group would also be interested
in staying there.
After
a discussion on what months would be good, September was chosen. Several ladies
are planning to go on this adventure during 9/6-9/10. Some will be staying two
days and some have decided they will be staying three in order to take in some
sightseeing. The rates are lower and
much of the summer vacationers to Maine will be gone for home. If you are interested in attending please
contact the Franciscan guest house directly.
We wanted to forward this information on to you in case you are interested
in going. This info will also be posted
in the April newsletter on the blog.
