COUPON GROUP
This group meets on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at the Satellite beach library, from 2-3 pm. The group ranges from 8 to 10 and we will continue to meet through the summer. We save and exchange coupons from the Sunday paper. In addition we save expired coupons which are sent to soldiers over seas. You can assist in this cause by placing your coupons (either good or expired) in the bin located at the DRS Community Center. Submitted by Terry Mellon

Thank you to Sharon from Bon Worth for providing the fashions and doing a wonderful job as commentator. Each of the six models picked out three outfits to wear. They all looked great and did a wonderful job! Thank you to our models Joyce, Olga, Eleanor, Norma, Terry and Elaine.
