Program for September 23, 2014- Nathan Emmons and Drama Students-NH S Theater Company
By Dick Dannells
Pres. Michael Boyer began the meeting at 12:38 PM and after the usual introductions, he skipped directly to the program as Nathan and the students had to get back to the Nipomo High School. After they left, Greg Baker took the podium in the continuing Know-Your-Members’ series. Greg was born in Hanford California, moved to Porterville and then to Idaho where he felt like Opie from the Andy Griffith show. He was a very active Boy Scout and is most memorable scouting experience was to attend the National Jubilee in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. He first visited and saw the sights of Washington DC and Philadelphia. The opening speaker at the jamboree was Pres. Lyndon Johnson. His most boring job when he was growing up was when his dad, through adoption, promoted him to operating the weed whacking machine. His biological father left him what he was a young boy and after a long search at age 42 he met him at a motel. It was the most emotional experience of his life. Later he did get to meet his step brothers and sisters. Greg, like Ron Howard, has come a long way since his Opie days. His greatest achievement was leaving a steady job to go into business for himself, a financial planner. He believes it was important for him to establish a relationship with God.
FINES:
Pres. Michael levied a $20 fine on John Murphy for making a snide remark, but no fine for his September 23 birthday. Instead when Martha Murphy had us join in the H B song, Pres. Michael fined her $70. Abby Silverstone was fined $70 for his seven-year club anniversary. Sandy Lubin received a $40 spent fine for speaking without being spoken to.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Sharon Ellis came forward as past president of this club to perform the induction of two members, Shannon Bowdery and Kari Ziegler, who is returning to the club and was sponsored by Ashlea Boyer. Connie O Henley sponsored Shannon for membership. Next meeting will be our last at Ventana Grill and thereafter we will be at our new home of Steamers Restaurant. Jay Bond again reminded everyone to get their community giving forms no later than the next meeting. Connie O’Henley reported that the Interact Club at the Arroyo Grande High School will now be meeting at 11:55 AM in room 308.
Program: Nathan Emmons and Drama Students-NH S Theater Company
Nathan Emmons is the new Theatre teacher and Director of Nipomo High School and had six of his drama students recite a portion of their respective parts from the first theater production,“The Musical Comedy Murder of 1940”, a hilarious murder mystery, to be held beginning on October 25 and continuing on October 31/November. The students will perform five other shows throughout the season including a Greek tragedy, which will be held in the small theater of the Clark Center.
