April showers bring May flowers, but it doesn’t bring Golfers and Sputters.

The Committee members, Hazel Roper, Karen Taylor, Nancy Bowersock, Kathie Roberts and Sandy Ripley prepared beautiful table flower centerpieces on each table of which one lucky Sputter at each table got to take home with them. Debbie Van Berkom won the free lunch.
