April Genoa Chamber Chatter
Spring is officially here! However, it sure does not feel like spring outside.
I am sure you are like me and continue to wait anxiously for the warmer
weather. Happy April to everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.
It was a special Easter for me because it was the first holiday that we cele-
brated with my daughter Lily who was born in March. My wife and I are
still learning to live with no sleep!
There were some exciting events that took place in Genoa during the
month of March. The Genoa Christian Church hosted a Beef & Noodle
Special points of in- Dinner on March 10th. I was told that the turnout was great for this
terest: event. On March 24th the Allen-Clay Fire District hosted a Reverse Raffle.
This is always a wonderful event. There will be numerous other great fund-
