Today's meeting was without a program speaker and focused on club fellowship. Prior to the pledge of allegiance, our President Halverson threatened to do some Beatboxing on the mic. Luckily for the club, instead the club sang Kurt's favorite patriotic song "Grand Old Flag." George Wickstrom provided the virtue of Accountability. Laura Bock provided a summer blessing to the club. Club Announcements: - Dick Huston presented incoming president Laura Bock with a gift from the district governors for her year as president.
