Monday, May 24: Today's program is "Meet the Candidates", chaired by Mike Hall and Jeanne Clum.  They've invited all registered candidates for the open seats for the 22nd District Michigan Senate, 5th District County Commissioner, and 47th and 66th District State Representative spots.  This will be the first time these candidates will be together for introductions and brief comments about their philosophies.  Should be an interesting meeting.

Last week Bruce McCullen presented an informative program on energy efficient houses.

Other good news for Monday:  We'll be inducting new member Heidi Wenner to our Club.  We extend a warm welcome to Heidi!

Congratulations are in order to eHoweller Bulletin Editor Molly Burk who gave birth to a new baby girl "Toby." Mother and daughter are doing well.
