Mike will be conducting our meeting tomorrow while I'm at the Ryder Cup, cheering on team USA! Neil will be sharing some "cool" photos and a video of Alaska. In addition, Jim will be updating the club on the changes that will be occurring in the way that DC West conducts their food drive. Next week we will be joined by Elkhorn resident Kathy Arends, who will share her story of the "Truck that came to (through) our House"! We need speakers for October so please volunteer your ideas. Thanks ... See you next week! Tod
