CLUB BUSINESS
Bill Keba served as today's Greeter. He made sure to be on hand to greet the contestant's for today's 4-Way Test speech contest.
Gwenn Carr opened the meeting, ringing the bell at 7:30.
Marlene Heller gave the Thought of the Day, noting it's never too late to say ''thank you," even if it's sixty years later.
Gwenn noted that we are just a few days away from our Irish Bingo fundraiser. There are flyers on each table. Guests may purchase tickets at
www.irishbingo.org. We have a fabulous afternoon planned, lots of Fun, Fellowship, snacks, and gorgeous gift baskets! Your ticket purchase entitles you to entry at the Macungie Memorial Hall on Sunday at 2 PM. We will provide you with a bingo pad, a raffle ticket, a dauber and the Rules of the Bingo Games.
