Greetings NTMCA Members!
So much to be thankful for at this time of year: watermelon, swimming pools, family reunions, friend get-togethers, time to travel, longer days and slower schedules (maybe). It may be hot, but there is a lot of good during this time of year. So, keep cool and enjoy your July.

June Meeting
Our annual Awards Luncheon was a great success. Many thanks to Alicia Richardson, Traci Henderson and Maria Lindsey for all the time they took planning and hosting the event. The Grand Hall at NRH Centre was a perfect place to host an awards luncheon. The round tables were set beautifully, including gorgeous flowers set in glowing vases as the centerpieces. The food tasted delicious and even more so since the caterer served us on real china. Wrapping up the luncheon, our hosts had gathered over ten door prizes, which made the event even more fun
