Note: When we first started meeting, we kept a paper record of who hosted, who attended, what was served, etc. One binder became two, and a tote became necessary. Somewhere along the line the first binder AND the tote was lost, and so many of our records were not able to be posted here. Treat yourself to links that work for 8/98 to present day (if our hostess remembered to record).
