Club News & Reminders
 
Member Videos
The first video featuring Doug was shared with the members.  It looks terrific.  Rob will be reaching out to others to schedule their video over the next few weeks.  These will be featured on our social media sites. 
 
Rob Wells
 
We are all truly thankful for the positive news Rob shared with members this week. Rob was recently advised by his doctors that the original grim diagnosis he shared previously was incorrect and while the doctors are still working on a correct diagnosis, the outlook is much more positive.  Thank you Rob for sharing this wonderful news with the members. 
 
Tina Blatchford
 
Tina will be returning from some very valuable time spent with her daughter and precious grandson, Sawyer who had a successful second surgery after a diagnosis of Pyloric Stenosis.  We are grateful to this very positive outcome.
