• Kathy Denton – If anyone wants to document speeches they’ve completed outside the Club just send Kathy the title, date and venue. This ties in for those participating in the Speaker’s Bureau or if you simply just want to record the speeches you’ve given. (Kathy sent a link to Google Docs to the Club Members after the meeting – https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18cgji7YZYmpDJNQIMHkOpoaCFZXAhurbadPUlwtRpuo/edit?ts=5c77657b#gid=0)
• Sandy Roll – An SD card was found in the camera. Unfortunately the card will not run in the camera so we are unable to identify who owns the card. If you are missing your card it is in the box with the Club’s SD cards.
