August 9th Meeting

Announcements:

The club is adding a Chaplain committee.  More information to come at a later date.

We still need people to sign up for committees- check with any board member about openings.

Matt McColm has stepped down as President of our club, and Jim Huffman, the former Vice President, has stepped in per club bylaws.  We thank Matt for his service and appreciate the commitment to Service Above Self as he believed his presidency was not the best fit for the club.  We thank Jim Huffman for his willingness to serve.

Thank you to the club for patience in this time of transition and growth.  Fortunately, the road ahead is paved with a multitude of really, really bad jokes to lighten the load.





Brags and Confessions:

P.J. attended his 50 year high school reunion and was able to re-live the old days of drinking beer at 10:00 a.m. among other shenanigans.  All around a great time.

Jim Huffman paid a fine for missing a meeting with the District Governor who wasn't there either.

Jay was able to participate in a spontaneous performance with his family at a reunion in Leavenworth.

Joan's son, Gavin, got married.  The herbs were great and everyone took them home so Joan didn't have to move them twice!

Jerry moved his wife's sister in a retirement home after 30 years in the same house.  He advises that everyone start cleaning their stuff out NOW!

Jim & Carol Adamson went to a family reunion at a log cabin in the woods, complete with a small pot growing operation.  His mother and two aunts also attended and have a combined age of 271 years!  Probably a good guess that in all those 271 years, the sisters had never had a family reunion at a pot farm.

Bill saw Beauty and the Beast in Leavenworth and thought it was amazing!

Alan took a day off to float the river with his wife.  His daughter turns 25 years old today.

Matt was able to help his 92 year old grandma have a video conference with far off family.

August Birthdays:  Mike Thorburn

August Anniversaries:  Kevin Love (Lynn), Earl Crowe (Joy), Dick Baker (Andrea), Bryan Noyd (Cyndi), Pete Blanksma (Kristine),  and Taro Masuda (Patti)
