Last Week: “Tune-up” meeting, going
over each important detail went just great. There were questions, comments,
suggestions for improvement and those final “don’t forget” to do this and that.
It all paid off! Great plan & great organization led to Sunday’s great
execution, despite a very poor weather day!
This Week: Guard Change, Breakfast
Recap and, a visit from German YE student Charly Linden and her mother who
is visiting from Ratingen. And -- the annual Foundation meeting;
candidates John O’Sullivan and Umesh Patil.

off her success of the 50/50 Raffle during our breakfast will take in some
atonement cash. Peter Adams will be
with us and give the invocation.
Next Week: Skip Plank has yet to line up a July 2 program but says he will come up with
something, and knowing him, and what he has done this past year, it will be
good!
