FROM YOUR SECRETARY
I will print any corrections/additions to the minutes/newsletter in the "FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER"section of the newsletter when advised.
REQUEST: Please speak loudly when addressing the membership or giving a report so I don't miss out on important information. Our meetings are fun, crazy, and informative and I want to make sure I get the correct info to you. If I miss a birthday, or put info wrong in this newsletter, please let me know. 360-679-7936 Thanks!
It is my goal in regards to the newsletter, to complete it, mail it, and be on the website by or before the 15th of the month. I would like to receive committee reports via email trfj1@urraca.whidbey.net or on paper at the monthly meetings and/or by the Friday following the monthly meeting. Thanks again.
PRESDENT'S CORNER:
Another month. Another holiday. Another doctor telling me to slow down. I am just grateful to be here along with Don Souza, Rick Klemencic, Bill Morrow and so many others of us who came close to not being here. I give thanks every day, not only for me but for all of you, as well.
We have a new '57 Chevy hardtop with us. Thanks, Beau. I'm sure there are a few of us who will be glad to help you with her. We look forward to having you at our events.
And speaking of events. Do not do like I did a few years ago and be the only one in the Elk's parking lot for the August Meeting. Next month we will be at City Beach for our meeting. We can start showing up after 1530 (3:30 PM. Sorry, it's an old habit.) Dessert pot luck - Always a great treat.
Be safe and be thankful for being here.
The Prez
