Stated Meeting will be held on March

The circus will be in town March 29th
to April 1st. Don Harmsen and John
Davenport say it’s going to be one terrific
show. But we are going to need all Nobles
to help out at the circus. Last year, we had
a great show and a wonderful response
from the people who came to enjoy the
show. It was terrific to receive so many
positive comments and also it was
wonderful to see so many Nobles
involved. You really make a difference.
Let’s do it again this year.
