LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

April President's Message:

Boing! Boing! Boing! “It’s Spring”, she egg-claimed! And I’m hopping you have a great one and enjoy the coming holidays. Let’s hop the Easter bunny leaves egg-actly the right amount of chocolate to delight your sweet tooth before his egg-odus. It seems that no matter whether you’re egg-centric or egg-traordinary, there is much to appreciate in the egg-onerating spirit of Passover and Easter time.

Naturally, I don’t want to egg-aggerate the issue, but let me egg-plain my point of view to you. As we emerge from the dregs of winter to observe the egg-hibition blossoming on the landscape, we have to stop and admire the beauty that egg-sists everywhere. Cold weather is ova! It’s egg-hilerating. Egg-amine your heart and see if you don’t agree.

It’s egg-citing! Good time to egg-it the woolies and shake out the linens and cottons for the warm season ahead. Spare no egg-pense, just don’t be too egg-stravagant on your shopping spree, or you won’t have any egg-tra cash for the picnic groceries.

So, here’s wishing you an egg-cellent and egg-ceptional Easter. Whew! I’m egg-hausted!

Beverly Kaufman

President
