Anna King, Journalist with Northwest Public Radio, Presents "The Daughters of Hanford"

Anna King and Victoria Russell

The meeting began with a presentation from the local American Legion with three veterans presenting flags and Vickie Evans leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance, and a medley of hymns from branches of the Armed Services.  

Following a few committee reports, President-Elect, Victoria Russell, introduced Anna King, an award-winning journalist with Northwest Public Radio.  Ms. King's topic on "Daughters of Hanford" was excellent, and current with local involvement with the Hanford site.  Many questions were answered at the end of the presentation, and members stayed after with additional queries. 

Advice from Anna; get out of your rut – listen to different news presentations - change your routine- eat something different for breakfast. Bonsai Audio assisted with this multi-media event.  

During the Business Meeting the Legislative Committee and Pre-Retirement Committee were recognized for their hard work and accomplishment with the September Open Forum for candidates, and the October Pre-Retirement Seminar for 150 attendees.   Jim Foster and Elaine Banks commented further on these events.

90+ were in attendance including five presenters.

Meatloaf and taco salad was served for the luncheon.

Members were reminded about the November 19^th meeting and to bring unwrapped toys for the Salvation Army Toy Drive. “Mary Lou and Stevie” will be entertaining, and we will hear from WSSRA Executive Director Alan Burke.
