Update on In Person Meetings-More good news! Starting April 12, I have confirmed the Council Chambers for in person and zoom meetings on Mondays at noon! Unfortunately no food/bev is allowed, we have to follow Covid protocol, answering questions, temp check and wear masks, but we can sit up to 40 right now so it will be great to see everyone in 3D! We will also be inducting a new member, Susan White.

Member Feature:
Ray Yee
Ray's biggest claim to fame is he was featured in the Trenton Trib in Dec. 2016 as interesting neighbor! As seen in his picture on his trip to Egypt, he had discovered the secret that the ancient Egyptian's used to build the pyramids. Wearing the magic headwear will impart superhuman strength as can be seen in this picture of me lifting the hugh boulder. The miracle of digital photography!
His wife Sue and he also volunteer at the St Philip's Food Pantry and work with Rotarian Dale and Barb Malzahn.
They have two grown son's David and Stephen.
David is a Director of the Risk Analysis group at Blue Cross.
Stephen is a graphic artist at Quicken Loan. Both worked Downtown before the pandemic but are fortunate to be able to work at home until further notice.
Both are single. Ray guesses they are taking after their parents who got married later in life. They didn't get married until they were in our 30's. Now he understands how his mother felt when she asked me when Ray would get married!
