Spiritual message presented by Bev Baumann on April 6, 2022, at the Guild Board Meeting Unknown to most, there is an amazing. activity that takes place every year. Something so gorgeous and yet perceived common. As a child, I was in awe of both their beautiful presence and punctuality as the Monarch Butterfly migrating from the U.S. and Canada feeding on the title plants along the way to Angangueyo. Mexico.
