Monday Morning
We had 17 members along with our guest speaker, Nancy Zompolas and Jackson Goldapske, who tagged along with Mom, at Monday’s meeting. Bob Kahl had three “Happy Bucks”, one for his daughter who is a 14 year cancer survivor, his son who is a 5 year cancer survivor and his wife who is in her first year as a cancer survivor. Gary Ring also had a “Happy Buck” for his attendance at last week’s UCC’s Na-tional Youth Convention at Purdue Uni-versity. Sharon Kollman also anted up a “Happy Buck” for their trip to Traverse City, MI to see their grandson perform in a traveling band performance. Pete Vercou-teren won the 50/50 Raffle drawing and had Dan Leeds draw for him. Dan drew the Eight of Spades, not a winner. Next week’s drawing will only have 36 cards in the deck with seven pay cards and a pot of over $416.
