Ribfest needs you.....and your partner.....and your friends! A quick review of the "sign up" request for Ribfest indicates there are 150 volunteer shifts. It will take everyone to make the event a success. The sign up link is below. Please do it now.......and thank you!
 
Monday Pres Kim announced the result of the discussion/survey on the challenges and needs of our community that took place at the last few meetings. The result is that as the year unfolds the board, though the committees, will be focusing on families with children who are impacted by mental and health/addictions wherever applicable. Members....thanks for the input.
 
Firestone for a beer. Everyone is invited to join Wednesday July 28 to celebrate with the Plasma Donors. Members are donating Plasma that afternoon and are congregating for a celebratory drink to which you are all invited. The first donors will be arriving at the Firestone at 5:15-5:30. We learned a few weeks ago how enjoyable gathering for a drink can be!
 
New Members Needed -  Please bring potential members to lunch and also know we plan an information session in September for those who wish to learn more.
 
Volunteers are needed for the Hospital Garden. Three or four per week on Wednesdays. Details and sign up at the following link.
