From the Editor…..
 What
is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect
days.” James Russell
Lowell must have been experiencing the kind of weather we’ve
had the last few weeks….just about perfect….when he wrote
this.
We hope you are making plans to come to
Bay City on July 28th
for our social luncheon. The Lantern can’t accommodate us
long enough for a meeting, and besides, we thought you would
rather just tour the riverfront on your own, visiting the
shops and antique stores, viewing the tall ships, or taking a
cruise on the Princess Wenonah.
We are
publishing phone numbers for you to make your own reservations
for tours and cruises.
