heading  home,  we  all  treated  ourselves  to  browsing  through  the  many  wonders  of  the  Eckert’s  store.    Check  out  the  photos  on  page  7.  Thanks,  Sarah,  for  the  great  photos  of  the  day!

And,  on  March  13th,  come  travel  to  Wonderland  and  don’t  be  late,  the  Mad  Ha0er  is  coming  so  please  mark  the  date!    You  must  look  for  your  gloves,  hats  and  all  of  your  “tea  wearing  accessories”  for  our  March  social.  The  Mad  Ha0er  guest  speaker,  Ellen  Leaf-­‐Moore,  owner  of  Fezziwig’s  in  Lebanon,  IL,  has  a  great  presentaDon  planned  for  us.

Following her speaking engagement at our September social, renowned artist Mary Engelbreit created three designs acknowledging the service and sacrifice of military families. She took the additional step of earmarking the profits from the sale of the prints for MCEC programs and services. We think you’ll agree that the prints honor military families, and make great gifts. The artwork is available on prints or custom products (mugs, water bottles, mousepads, etc.) at www.maryengelbreit.com.
