Program

Walt Joyce introduced our speaker, Michael Becker, who was supposed to talk to us by phone from Chicago.  However, he was not available when called.  Walt did a good job of filling the time by talking about what the speaker was going to talk about and what future speakers in August would be talking about. 

With the available time remaining we also had a chance to interact with the RYLA campers and ask them more in depth about their experience at Camp.  Hal has them committed to reviving the Interact Club at Mtn View High School.

 

Next Week

Our program next week will be led by Liz Blackford.  She will educate us on Enneagrams.

 

Three-fer will be Dennis Kobza.

Dave Cole filling in for Hiro as the Three - fer  gave us these notes.
