Joys & Concerns

Concern:  Larry Helicher had open heart surgery on Monday.  His doctor was satisfied with the results.  We all wish Larry a speedy recovery.
 
Concern:  President Beth had foot surgery on Wednesday, June 28.  That is the reason we didn't see her at the meeting.  We all wish Beth a speedy recovery.
 
Joy: Amy Lewis is justifiably joyful over the success of Wheels & Wings and 5K.  It met the goal to fund $30K for the Club's commitment to the Summer Youth Experience and more.  Despite the adverse weather that lingered for several days through early Saturday morning, there were 149 runners and 56 cars entered.  The total results will be greater than $46k.  Amy thanks those that took leadership roles and everyone who helped.  The number of people that turned out to help was amazing.  Thanks, thanks, thanks.
