Dining Out and Meetings in March

Mike had bought Gutter Guards to install on our rain gutters a while back from Lowe's. Earlier this month Mike put them on the gutters around our garage - which fills up with oak leaves from tree by the garage.

Every Monday of this month Mike and I went down to IHOP in Vero and joined our friends Chris & Matt, Nancy & Bill, and Steven for breakfast. 

Our guest speaker for the March IRGS's monthly meeting was Diahan Southard and she spoke on "Five Tips to Make Sense of Your DNA Testing." We had a huge attendance that day and we always do when Diahan speaks. Even if you've heard her speak on DNA, you always pick up on something you missed before - at least I do, and several of my friends say the same thing. Since I am now Treasure for the society, I attend the monthly Board meetings which are usually the following week of our General Meetings. Besides keeping the financial records for the society, I prepare a monthly financial report which I give at the General Member Meeting and I email a copy to each of the Board Members.

We also went to the MOAA (Military Officers of America Assn.) luncheon at the Vero Beach Yacht Club on
the 16th. Mike and I chose the Baked Ham with Rum Raisin Sauce, potatoes and steamed vegetables.

Our guest speaker was Dr. Daniel R. Green and he is a Defense Fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy. He spoke about when he worked in Afghanistan and about working with the tribal leaders there. It was really interesting and informative to hear him talk about his experiences. 

We haven't been camping since early January, but we are going on a trip the middle of next month over near the west coast of Florida to a state park we haven't been to before.
