March is the month that signals the end of winter and ushers in the spring season. Officially, spring arrives on the calendar on March 20. All of us, I'm sure, are anxious to have this winter over with and eagerly await the first signs of new life breaking through the ground. We also celebrate Ash Wednesday on March 9, which is the start of the Easter season. Don't forget to turn your clocks ahead one hour on March 13. If you are like my family, we turn our clocks ahead before we go to bed on the night of March 12. Happy Birthday to all those Branch 352 members who are celebrating a birthday this month. Also, congratulations to all members who are celebrating an anniversary during March. May you celebrate with family and friends. Branch 352 youth members: watch your mail for notice of a special art contest the branch is sponsoring for young members of our branch. Information on the contest will be sent soon. If any adult branch member would like to be a judge, please contact me.
