UOVSFC News for the week of March 24

What did the scoutmaster say when his car horn was fixed?
Beep repaired.

The presentation last Tuesday on her travels to Antarctica by Emily Edwards attracted a large audience and all were entranced by her
enthusiastic descriptions and amazing photographs. Thank you, Emily!

In contrast, only eight people showed up for our Movie Matinee, "A Man Called Otto", but we really appreciated it. Maybe I scared people off with the warning about suicide. In fact, this movie could possibly prevent people from committing suicide.
If you have suggestions for other movies, please let us know. The next movie will be on Thursday April 10.

Tuesdays in the Deep River Library Program Room (please note, the elevator is out of service)
All of our activities, unless stated, require pre-registration so we know how many to prepare for.
E-transfers preferred (please indicate what the money is designated for in the memo section of the e-transfer), or pay through our drop box at the town of Deep River. E-transfers are accepted through
23uovsfc55@gmail.com.
