President Doug brought the meeting to order and led us in reciting the 4 Way Test. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Don Glover, who informed us that Old Glory has changed 27 times from 1777 to 1960, when the star for Hawaii was added. John Mullin inspired us with a story about how lessons learned from a Nazi prisoner of war can teach us how to control our own destiny.
Our greeter was Johanna Mullin, who volunteered to cover this job on short notice. Joel Doss lead us once again in a rousing rendition of our fabulous Welcome Song.
Doug thanked our volunteers: room setup by Jim Reid and Vern Cook; check-in by Joel Doss, Scott Lawn and Rick Bramble; meeting pictures by Mike Fuqua; Bill Angus for doing the newsletter; meeting organization by John O’Neill and these words by your humble scribe, Dave Brooks.
