  Important Request:  
  Health Watch!  In consideration to some members who have very severe allergies to perfumes, colognes, fragrances in hair spray and lotions, the Cactus Rose Board is asking members to refrain from wearing such things to meetings or any Cactus Rose sponsored event.  We ask members who bring guests to please inform them of this appeal.  Since RWA® National has made the same appeal for those attending the national convention in times past, we feel it is a reasonable request.  We appreciate your cooperation.
