Bud to the Rescue

Sometimes the best laid plans of our bi-weekly meetings go arigh. We had planned District Governor Dan Steele as our guest speaker for our September 27th meeting. Unfortunately, DG Dan is sidelined due back surgery. Area Governor Bud Walker stepped in to give a wonderful presentation.

Introduced by Immediate Past President Theresa Hocker, Bud, to quote member Ellen Kurtzman, provided a "fine speech where we are learning much about ways to improve the club".
