PROGRAM:
Lori Livingston gave her entertaining and enlightening classification talk through a few photos and many stories! Lori says she likes to “stay below the radar” but given her exciting life – that includes a “very funny” husband from Thailand who owns numerous restaurants, a houseful of teenagers and young adults in US and Thailand, a cancer prevention foundation she created in honor of her mother, two dogs, numerous horses…well, not exactly a life under the radar! Thank you for sharing your life with us! We look forward to many more stories….
School Bond Issue was presented by School Board Member, Scott Bideau. Scott provided a very informative presentation covering the ABC’s of the bond issue. Brad Meeks, Scott and other school board members fielded many questions. The interest was strong enough that we extended the program through our allotted Good News time (and creative Gillian Morris handled that!) Thanks to all school board members who took time to inform us today! If you still have questions, go to: www.yes2steamboatschools.com where there is a list of FAQ’s.
GOOD NEWS: Since we extended our program, we did Good News on the fly! Gillian Morris dashed from table to table with collection hat in hand and collected a great amount! Thanks Gillian!
Good News: $179.00
Attendance: 79%
Program Next Week: The Wilkinson Family: “Follow your Children’s Dreams and See Where It Takes You” - a very amazing, not like any other, family vacation!
