President Jason Bradshaw called the meeting to order at 12:15 PM and shared our Club’s vision statement.
 
Past President Carla Hauge provided the inspirational minute.  “The rivers don’t drink their own water. Trees don’t eat their own fruits.   The Sun does not shine for itself.  Flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.  The salt seasons the soup in order to have its purpose fulfilled.  Live for others!
