Program-to be determined

 

Greeter-Kevin Holt, Ute Pass Gardens

 

September 6, 2023

Thank you, Brenda, for your wonderful presentation on your sailing trip!

Brenda shared her tale of what it was like to be a sailor, sailing across the ocean from Sint Maarten to Mallorea. She had lots of great photos and some comical stories! 

 

 

Notes from your executive director:

Please note, Simon Penner with Miramont Commercial has dropped his membership (sadly!).  Please make note of it. 

 

We are in need of a presenter for next week.  I have a call into someone but as of now have not heard back from him.  If you would like to fill the slot and seize the opportunity, please let me know ASAP! 

 

There will be a board of directors meeting after next week’s breakfast.
