The focus of our February 22 was recognition of four outstanding community members who, though not members of our club, have helped us greatly in many ways over the years.

We then turned to our honorees, each of whom received an honorary Paul Harris Fellowship. They were:

Betty Broglio, who has bravely served both Past Pres. Howard Hayes and Past Pres. Warren Barmore and has done as much for the lcub as most members over the years.

Annie Malley, our longtime but now outgoing Senior Librarian, who has helped us immensely with resources for meetings and events. NOTE: Annie was unable to attend because of Jury duty.

Julian Marquez, library staff, whose generous use of time and energy has made it possible for us to do things otherwise impossible.

Fred Whelan, for his generous help over many years in making the facilities of the IDES Hall available for Pumkin Festival and other events.

Each received a warm round of applause.

CLUB MEETING, FEBRUARY 22, 2024

Our meeting was a potluck lunch, and the table was loaded with wonderful pastas, salads pizza and dessert. Nobody went away hungry.

Before getting to the main event, we took care of the preliminaries.

Pledge of Allegiance Stacy led us in the pledge.

Inspirational Thought Susan had words of wisdom from Muhammad Ali.

Guests Arancha introduced her friend Joanie from North Carolina. A number of members brught their spouses for the potluck. Pres. Liz introduced our HMB Senior Librarian, Kelly, who is new in this position and excited about being in this community.

Happy News
