I filled in as our announcer this week! Brad Ruth and Don Greenleaf have birthdays, but must have been out celebrating because neither of them were there. I announces a couple in our Club was having an Anniversary and Bob Oborn panicked, but he is OK, because it is actually Kelly and Lisa Toppin's 26th Wedding Anniversary. Congrats! FINALLY the lawyers table did not have the winning ticket!! Ray Evan's table did, but they didn't pull the joker so the pot will continue to grow!
John Pribonic, was our host this week, he introduced Jack Johnson, a Director at Boy Scouts of American and also President of the Hudson Clocktower Club!
This year is the 110th year of the Boy Scouts of America. A lot has changed over the years, but so much is still the same. Boy Scouts now allows females and they have both boy and girl troops. Many families were pressed for time and often times there were girls attending meetings with their brothers doing many of the projects and work with none of the reward, so to accommodate these families and help they began to encompass everyone.
Boy Scouts have been investing in their camps to help support their new scouts and making all sorts of improvements. Jake explained how special being an Eagle Scout is and that it is designed that way. Eagle Scouts = More Work = More Success! Some famous Scouts are Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, Hank Aaron, Mark Spitz, Martin Luther King Jr., Jon Bon Jovi, Steven Spielberg, JFK, and Bill Gates. Thank you Jake for sharing!!
