Salem G.E.M.S. Trip April 16

On Monday, April 16, Salem G.E.M.S. will be "going out." We will be meeting at Eggsclusive Cafe, Inc. at 265 W Peace Rd (north of the Sycamore Jewel). Those attending are asked to meet at the restaurant so we can order our lunches at noon. Each one is responsible for the cost of his or her lunch. Spouses are always welcome.

After lunch we will drive/carpool to the Historic North Grove School for a tour and talk. We are fortunate to have the school's association president in our midst...our own Carole Lichty!

We must have your reservations by Friday, April 13, so that the restaurant will have enough room reserved for our group. Please call contact person Carol Saidat at 815-899-8383.

Donations for Salem's Food Pantry will be collected by any G.E.M.S. committee member. Also, we need your recipes for the G.E.M.S. Cookbook. Give them to Jim Eklund.

We look forward to seeing you on April 16!
