Judy Whitehill reports--
"At our RCRTA (Rutherford County) meeting Tuesday, September 14th, at Greenhouse Ministry, we played VALUE/ bingo to quiz our members about our local and state associations. I called the questions and finding the answers generated interest. The winner received $6 because that is the cost of our monthly dues. Everyone enjoyed the activity and learned something new. "
