Greetings all, I need to apologize for a mix up in the meeting schedule for our Horizons Team here in Starbuck, last week. We are going to have our next Horizons Team meeting on August 12th, at 7 p.m. at Minnewaska Lutheran Home. I know we have a lot to get ready for the next phase, and we have some paper work and a Horizons Team agreement to get down as well.
Also on August 12th., I am going to spend every Wednesday afternoon in Starbuck. I will be available to visit with anyone that has an interest in the program, and more importantly Starbuck. I will be at Daves Doo Wap Coffee Shop, so feel free to stop by for coffee. As always, feel free to call me any time. Thank-you.
