SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS:

To showcase Community College Scholarship awards given by our club as a result of fund raising efforts like the upcoming Harvest Dinner, BETTY DOVERSBERGER told stories of recent recipients and how our help has changed their lives and the lives of people around them for the better.  In fact, she reminded us that helping these young adults has helped the community.  Claudia is now a registered nurse.  Nancy and Daniel just purchased their first home.  Taylor is a dental assistant.  Cheryl is studying to be a para-legal.  They all thanked us through BETTY.

JIM KLUSMAN asked us to review the list of auction items and companies to ask.   In an effort to eliminate multiple requests of the same businesses, JIM is keeping track of who is asking.  If you have something to contribute to the auction that is worth at least $50 or know someone you would like to ask, please contact JIM.
