LUNCHEON/ZOOM MEETING
We are still having lunch indoors and we're getting more comfortable in these difficult times of social distancing. Your reporter, in a lapse of judgement, asked people to take photos together. This was an undue risk that we took. We are successful as a species from diligence for reasonable precautions and learning from our mistakes. Your reporter will do his best to not ask you to do that again.
Guests
President George Lesley invited Cheri Johnston as his guest and Al Wach was fortunate to have her as a tablemate. Welcome, Cheri!
Invocation and Pledge
George led the invocation including the Boy Scout Pledge, more than half the members joined in reciting it. It speaks a lot to the values we hold dear to our club... Do you best, be prepared, Do a good turn daily. Leo Fracalosy led us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Scouts are in a period of change after being rocked by sexual abuse and a drive for inclusivity. The feeling that the scouting oath will go away with these changes caused the inclusion of the oat in the prayer. However, looking online, one doesn't see loss but greater service to all children as they grow up, instilling the values we cherish.
Football Pool
Mike Gertner helped welcome Wally Ziglar back to our meetings. It's been too long Wally, we're so glad to have you back! Dr. Bob Wood won his $3 back being bad, Ken Dufour took second and WC Fox, first.
Terry Tells us that they are inching toward the actual purchase of the land with a generous donation of $50 million toward the purchase being a big boost. Thank you for such an informative talk, Terry!
RAFFLE
Shirley Lashmett is keeping it going with terrific salesmanship! Roger Summers won the pot this week, something like $32!
