Agent Hilda Lytle gave an informative presentation concerning our drinking water. She asked the questions, ‘Where does it come from? What kind of pipes? and Are your pipes lead, copper or PVC’? She encouraged letting water run a few minutes before drinking, and never use hot tap water for drinking, cooking or making formula. She also advised if you have a well, getting it checked, properly filled and capped.

Book reports were given by Frances Hobbs, Elinora Vinson, Wilma Davenport and Burkhalter. Happy birthday wishes were extended to Sandra Blair.
