A Note from Kay Kelley
Dear Happy Hands Friends,
I am deeply touched and appreciative to receive the lovely “ILY” clock from you. What a neat gift! I missed working with you and you all have a very special place in my heart. Let’s hope our paths will cross again one day! Be happy and enjoy what NVRC has to offer you. Again, thank you for thinking of me!
The Cascades Deaf Seniors group will meet at Red Robin Restaurant in Dulles, VA on November 9 at 11:00AM. To have a better idea of how many are coming, please let Elaine or Linda know.
Make small meat balls and brown well. Mix jelly and chili sauce together. Drop in meat balls and simmer 30 minutes.
