The minutes of the January 9^th meeting were approved.

Correction to Newsletter: Membership will be limited to 21 members.

General announcements included a request for an update from the subcommittee evaluating charities to be considered for our donation (will be given next month) and reminders of the March 5^th Fashion Show benefitting the Beaufort Public Library Foundation and the May 8^th Luncheon benefitting the Beaufort Museum.

The decision was made, by a show of hands, to cancel the May 8^th meeting due to the conflict with the luncheon.

An update was given regarding funds that were delivered to Janie Ephland at Born to Read. They were very grateful to receive our donation.

Donna Armer gave a fabulous presentation on Mosaics and her time in Italy. The vibrant visuals and beautiful music were rivaled only by the delicious accompanying buffet of Italian delicacies (including some lovely Prosecco J).

The meeting adjourned at 5:00.
