P.E. Webb welcomed a full house to the PLAV, rang the bell and assigned opening duties to Tony (Pledge), Jim V. (4-way test), Don W. (Song) and Mike (Prayer).  We continued to enjoy home cooked meals, dining on turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing.  Bykowski and Webb showed the rest of the men "how it's done" on Valentines Day by surprising their visiting special ladies with singing valentines.

President Kathy continues to be in our prayers as she returned home from successful surgery at Mayo.
