A Special Note to
Our Coffee Time Volunteers
Every GWMC Meeting
starts with coffee, tea, cookies and candies at your
pleasure. Some of the coffee group members arrive before 8 AM to
make sure everything is in place, and leave at 11:30 after
cleanup. The regular members of this group are Carl Jadeski,
Gary Partlow, Bob Davis, Don Webb, Bruce
McIntosh and Wynne Wright. We also have a group of 6
more spares, who are always ready to fill in if someone is not
available. Many thanks to all of the volunteers, regular of
