Update on Mark Bailey:
Continued prayers of support and health for Mark and Linda Bailey - Mark is home and recuperating.
Sad to report:
Club member Anna DilLavou texted me with the sad news that her sister, Ruthie Portillo, finished her battle with stage four breast cancer Wednesday morning. We supported Ruthie with a donation during the early years in her battle with cancer. Ruthie was able to fight cancer for seven years. Our thoughts and prayers are with Anna and her family during this time. If you would like to send a card to Anna, her address is PO Box 2954, Grass Valley, CA 95945
