Bob Moloney is putting the finishing touches on the annual Valentine’s Dinner. He still needs hosts. Call him if you can perform as a host.

Evelyn Cogswell revealed to the membership that volunteers are being sought to serve on a committee for the Bellevue Public Schools. “Because of the budget shortfall, our district will need to cut $2.5-$3 million this year. We need input from community members, and if you’d like to serve, there is a form you’ll need to fill out. This is an umbrella committee established to monitor and have input where cuts should be made.” Contact Evelyn for more details.
