Saluda Community Land Trust (SCLT) will have their annual meeting on April 3, 6:30 p.m. at the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration’s parish hall. Guest speaker will be Doug Elliot, a storyteller and naturalist; refreshments will be served; all welcome. Don’t forget, it’s also a good time to join or renew your yearly membership.

Saluda School notes: Box-top collection containers are located in the Saluda Public Library, Saluda Post Office, and Saluda Elementary School Office. This is a great and easy way to help support our school!

Sympathy goes to Christel Lawson — her husband (USN-retired Captain) Ramsay Lawson passed away recently. Please remember Christel in your hearts. Both have been long-time volunteers around Saluda. Also, artist John Waddill will be greatly missed: he portrayed many Saluda residents and scenes in his colorful, folksy “John-style.” Please remember his loving wife, Alice, and family.

Happy March birthday to: Faye Chandler, Genell Jespersen, Charlene Pace, Valerie Mintz, Sheldon Mintz, Curtis Pace, Anita Odgen Moore, Lloyd Thompson, Charles Weinhagen, Kevin Kerr, Dorrie McKinley, Catherine Ross, Jane Fox and Monica Pace.
