"And a Good Time Was Had by All"

Thanks to Tom Callahan and Don Parks for an excellent program yesterday, Jan 28th.  With ninety-one members present, some tasty chicken-fried steak, and one great Czeckoslovakian story, we had a great time.

First up was Frank Kumzak, Mueller's Funeral Home.  Frank gave us an update on "End of Life Planning." Something rather grim to consider, but also something important to keep in mind for those left behind who must handle all the arrangements, one way or the other.

The second part of the program was presented by Ben Leggett and the Richland Elementary Steel Band, and what a show they put on! 

As you can see by the pics, everyone enjoyed the program and some even got up and did the "hoky-poky" with the kids around the room.


In other news: 

Our legislative team is off to Olympia this week to meet up with the legislators.

Connie Bailey handed out free lunch tickets to those who have brought in two or more new members.

Jim Bumgarner announced that Stevens Middle School is looking for science fair judges.  The fair will be held on Feb. 7th from 8am to 2pm.  If interested, just be there sometime that day. 

Tom Callahan won the Free Lunch.

Thanks to Elmer Bailey for manning the PAC collection jar at the door and taking care of the donations for the past 18 months!

And thanks to All of our Telephone
Tree members led by the most able Bette
Evans and JoAnn Deichman for the super job they do with notifications and reservations!!

All of the primary Chair positions have been filled for the State Convention coming up in June in Pasco.  We will be asking for volunteers to head up the Registration Desk, to take tickets at the banquet room doors, and we will be looking for a few folks to serve as pages. None of these positions can be held by delegates, so if you aren't on, get your "Volunteer Hat" on and step forward.
