There were 30 members present today with Les Reinhart visiting from the Aktion Club. The club held an induction ceremony for new members Susan Sanders and Jack Fredrickson. Welcome to Susan & Jack!! Bob reported a can deposit of $103.45. Marla gave a Vern update, which was highly anticipated. Hollie and Pat attended a Teen Maze meeting last week and reported that Greene County students will attend on March 27th. We are asked to provide volunteers for the 8:30am-12:00pm shift and some bars. Linda reported on the Aktion Club meeting from last Monday. They are busy preparing for Relay for Life, including a Bake Sale, and they are planning another Pizza Ranch work night. They are also planning to attend the Aktion Club Regional Conference in Newton on April 7th.

Bob Schwarzkopf had the program today. He introduced Carl Behne who is the CEO of the Greene County Medical Center. Carl spoke about the $22.5 million renovation project that was recently put out to bid. The 24-26 month project is tentatively slated to start in April.
