We had a successful month during March 2008 for the collection of membership dues. Thank you to all who have already paid their dues. If you have not paid your dues as yet, this may be your last printed newsletter! To insure that you keep getting your printed newsletter, pay your dues today!

    The Mansfield Liederkranz will be building a roof over the patio just outside of the clubroom. To help finance the construction, we will be selling bricks. You can buy a brick with your name on it. Each brick becomes a permanent part of the new structure. The cost per brick is $25.00!
