June 23rd meeting





At our 23 June meeting we were pleased to welcome Marty and 2 of his associates from the Arlington Heights Club. They passed the gavel in what, we hoped, was a case of beer. Instead, it turned out to be millions and millions of seeds that fell from Maple trees. At the left you see President John and Mike Bagby going through the seeds to find the gavel.

We also had a presentation by Tricia Williams of MCYAF (Maine Youth Assistance Foundation) on their attempts to reduce alcohol use among kids. Actually, it turned out to be more of a focus group discussing what we thought about their campaign and how it gets the message out.

Hopefully, the input we provided will be of assistance.

Next week we will hear from our newest member. Nancy Reiser.

One sad note passed along by Chuck Reid after the meeting, Bob Ayres is now in the ICU unit at a hospital near his son in Iowa. He was moved there by ambulance and was supposed to go to a care center. But, the long ambulance ride was apparently hard on him. The picture on the bottom is one of Bob with his great grand-daughter, Lydia Anne Tomczyk
