$ $ $ Happy Dollars $ $ $
Happy dollars this week included the following: All were very happy to see Rev Myron again!
Welcome home to the Sheehans. Susan Smith made it back to Florida safely. Dianne sold
the condo. A sad dollar was given that the Sox lost - Len admitted that he owes Mary Jane a
dinner because “they” (who are they?) won the series. Anton was thankful that three
students were going to the Kiwanis Leadership convention in Springfield. The Sheehans
were glad to be back. The Rosens were happy to announce that they will soon be great
grandparents

Nice hair cut, Kristin! Thanks in advance to the volunteers for the pancake
breakfast.
