Meeting Notes for May 23, 2017 by Paul

 
Phil provided today’s thought:
Today is the oldest you’ve ever been, yet the youngest you’ll ever be. 
Yesterday is history.  Tomorrow is a mystery.  Today is a gift.  That’s why it’s called the present.
Always remember Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take but by the moments that take your breath away.
 
Song Master Phil led is in “Oh What a Beautiful Morning”
