Pres. Tony Proffitt called out meeting to order and Tom White managed to pull himself away form the lunch table just in time to lead us in the traditional song and pledge. Estelle Ruehl gave the invocation give thanks that Tom would now be able to make it to dinner without much trouble.

     Don Bearghman attended the meeting and also brought our only guest, Creig Hockenberry. Creig will be serving and the new Assistant Principal at Oyler Elementary School for the upcoming school year. Our newest members Nancy Zigler and Chuck Cole also attended the meeting.

     On the update list: Chuck Cole (the Third) reported that Wes Reynolds (the Fifth) was up an around with a cast on that sprained ankle. Although unable to attend the meeting, and apparently a basketball game as well, he is able to get to work.

     Tom Reuter as of Tuesday, has 7 treatments down and 13 more to go. Hopefully this radiation will work without requiring Tom to undergo any surgery. Tom is able to drive himself too and from the treatment, but if needed I know the club will jump and request to help Tom at a moments notice.

     Our club received thank yous' from Kathy King and Betsy Maly. Our Scholarship winners from Mother of Mercy High School.

     Our local District Three Police Officer reported on the crime in the area. Its reported that with the increased gas prices, there has been an increase in gas station pump and go's. He also reported that a special task force has been put together to study the increase number of bank robberies. Now that summer has arrived, the number of crimes is on the rise.

     John Nordmeyer won split-the-pot, for the first time ever. And Edgar Willig, with cast and all on his wrist, lead us in singing "Good Old Summer Time" and "Smile".

     Our guest speaker was Dr. Z. Charles Fixler. Dr. Fixler came to us through the American Cancer Society. He specializes in Cancer of the Skin. The slide presentation showed what to look for with spot that may appear on your skin.

     Remember our next meeting will be at the same time and the same place.

 

See you next week, Kevin
