Lyle Workman announced the club's annual Installation of Officers will take place at Bertolucci's Wednesday, July 20th.
The topic of the club meeting three times a month was submitted to the board. After discussion, the Board voted to proceed with the three meetings- - two dinner and one lunch.

President Bre gave a report on the prior weekend's district convention attended by her and her husband, Handford & Margot Clews and Joe & Emily Farrah.

This club came in First Place in Y & C A raffle ticket sales. The Second Place club sold 900 less books than Geneva-Mission. This club earned about $3,000 in the Y & C A sales. What Bre did not announce is the fact she has been appointed a Regional Chairperson for the coming year. Congratulations, Bre!
