Brags and Confessions
Taro confessed he was late, when he really tried to be on time! He cleaned the snow off his vehicle and was under some trees that dropped snow all over him. He had to change clothes and therefore was late! Taro also attended Pre-PETS (President-Elect Training Seminar) in Ellensburg over the weekend and had to contend with the weather over Blewett Pass. At Pre-PETS, District Governor Elect Peter Schultz challenged the new President-Elects to "Make everything a little bit better"!
Jim Huffman shared a Chuck Norris joke: If you work in the same office, don't ask Chuck for the 3-hole punch!
President Lisa said her Apple Valley Gymnastics group had a competition with minimal attendance by gymnasts and judges due to the weather. She also said she has a new snow blower and needs lessons on how to operate it!
