SPRING is here!!! April showers indeed bring May flowers. One of my most gratifying activities is working in the yard. This Spring has been exceptional and I believe the little things in life bring us the greatest joy. That, and peace of mind. We are so blessed. This month's speaker is Lt. Cavinta of the Humboldt County Sheriff's office. He will be speaking about a reality that few of us are familiar with but we are all affected by it. It is the methamphetamine problem here in Humboldt County. I recently watched a movie called "Life After Meth" and I was horrified by this terrible drug. You will come away from this meeting with a better understanding of the mental & physical affects on it's victims. Please make reservations to attend. I have heard Lt. Cavinta and he is a wonderful speaker. See you Thursday May 17!
