Discussion took place about some of the coming events. The next meeting will be Monday, February16 from 6:30 -7:30pm. Much is planned for March. March 13, we will have a lock-in PJ Party. There will be a special guest.Pizza, chips, and drinks will be served that evening and the next morning the girls will have a large breakfast. Then we will go to church as a group.  

March 19 - 21 there will be an AB Girls' conference in Ripley for the older girls.
