[Rotary] Sunshine Queen needs YOU

[Donna Schuler]

I saw Wilma twice today, in the morning, and as she was headed for the
exit, looking very good. She is home, in good hands with Bruce, with
additional help from Bruce's daughter. As Bruce was ready to take her home,
he told me his daughter has a pot of soup for them. Home Health nursing
will come tomorrow. I'll be able to make some meals for them, but cannot be
the coordinator.
