Lack of Posts

I want to apologize for not having kept up this blog over the past several months. I enjoy being able to post about our meetings here for mothers who are not able to attend each month or for those stopping by who want to know what meetings are about and what things we discuss BEFORE stopping by in person.

I was absent from the February, June and July meetings, and of course have a difficult time doing meeting updates if I'm not actually present!

A renewed commitment to keeping our Murray LLL group blog up to date is here. . . starting with our August meeting, monthly updates will return! Thank you!
