We will review the <br /> options, (attached for your review), at our next m!eting. Please take a <br /> moment to look this information over and come repared to discuss next <br /> month.

We have nature at our. <br /> doorsteps, with our beautiful river frontage and ho:.pitality that cannot be <br /> matched by the mega stores.
