Call to Order:  Club President Greg Hill called the Zoom meeting to order and we immediately went to small group breakout sessions for 10 minutes.  Rich Mittleman led the Pledge of Allegiance, and Scott Hezner gave the prayer.  There was no song for lack of our song leader. 

 

Guests:  Speaker Jennifer Clark. 

 

Brags:  Rich Mittleman indicated he is a grandpa with a baby girl named Sunny. 

 

-Greg Hill mentioned the installation dinner scheduled for June 24th is cancelled due to the coronavirus, but the golf game is on.

 

-Greg also relayed Tom Zengeler plans an informal social at his home on July 29th.

 

-Tim Dempsey mentioned he is scheduling a highway cleanup in the next couple weeks, tentative June 27th per Patrick Hart.

 

-Seb Karusu asked if it were feasible to schedule the Zoom meetings for 7:30am ILO 7:00am.  Greg Hill will take it under advisement.

 

Fun and Frolics:   Pat Hart did a clever quiz on wild animals:  wolf, shark, and hippopotamus.

 

Program:   Jennifer Clark is the District 15 Representative for the Lake County Board representing nearly all of Libertyville, about half of Mundelein, and a little of Vernon Hills.  She has a law degree and is a Professor of Economics at Carthage College in Kenosha, WI.  Her responsibilities with the County Board are almost a full-time job.  Her committee responsibilities include the Forest Preserve District, Public Works, Planning, Transportation, and Energy and Environment.  Jennifer was recently selected to the Finance and Administration Committee, with responsibilities for Courts, Sheriff, Treasurer, Clerks, and will oversee disbursement of Federal Government monies for COVID response, $10M of which is funds for small business.  She’s also involved with COVID testing and contract tracing.  Additionally, Jennifer oversees $122M funding for Lake County Storm Water Management.  For sure, this is a big job that makes her a busy lady ... and she loves the work!   

 

Next Week:  Greeter & Prayer – Jim Hessenthaller, Fun & Frollics – Scott Hezner.

 

Closing:  Closed with the Four Way Test.
