Three new members, Richard Becker, Steve Weiser and Michele Kriss, were officially inducted into the club. Two other new members, Mary Ann Law and Vickie Hayes-Walworth, will be initiated later. On April 16, the club presented a check for Camp Alexander projects. The donation was from a train fundraiser held recently.
