Meeting re-cap 9/8

Last week Joe Sequenzia and Ron Pearson served as greeters. We had several announcements. Secretary Dave Laferla and Hanging Judge Kevin Welsh handed out several fines and recognized September birthdays. The RISK bag was at $225 and someone won a free lunch. Yolanda Hoffman introduced our speaker, Cindy Alloway of CHI Health.

Permanent badge

Congratulations to Bailey Feekin who completed all of her Yearling requirements and received her permanent badge last week.

After Hours

Thanks to Children's Hospital/Tom Kerfoot for hosting a fantastic After Hours last week. Attendees learned about plans for Children's from the CEO and then got to see the Polio Plus statue installed as a gift from the Rotarians of District 5650 when Walt Horner was District Governor. (If you would like to host an upcoming After Hours, please contact Jordan Walker)
