Allene Mize gave the devotion about life being a gift, enjoy it, and laugh often.

Members related their favorite book for roll call. Julie Dillard, the Celeste Media Specialist, gave a program about how technology is being used in all the Celeste Schools. The computer is being used to do research papers, access the card catalogue, and locate published newspaper articles.

There are mobile laptops that will soon go wireless. The computer operates the interactive white boards in the classrooms. Dillard said that Google is not always correct and that books are still important. Afterwards, the club business was completed and Mary Ann Hooks served the refreshments in the library. The next meeting will be a luncheon outing at Mary of Pudding Hill on April 14. Afterward, the members will tour Mary of Pudding Hill and the Cotton Museum.
