Devner-area lTCC members will celebrate their 19th anniversary on Thursday, July 24, starting at 6 p.m. (please note that this is the fourth Thursday of the month). Once again, Joan Madrid has invited us to celebrate at her lovely home, 7500 East Dartmouth Ave., #33, in Denver. Joan will furnish the meat course and members are asked to bring side dishes and salads. As usual, we will have a "kitty" so each of us can give what we will for cost of meat and other expenses. Since Bonnie may not be able to get back from the East Coast, David has said he will bring cake. Please bring your own drinks, wine, etc. If you can attend, please call Joan at (303) 752-4173 to RSVP.
