- Debbie thanked Adam Fox, Rob VanWinkle and Steve Burchett for filling in for her in her absence.
- Debbie welcomed our newest member Liz Kilker.
- Charles Giamarino has had to step away from the Sargent at Arms role so Debbie asked if anyone would like to volunteer to be Sargent at arms. That role is an officer role so you will have the opportunity to attend officer meetings. If you are interested please reach out to Debbie.
- Saturday, March 11th, two members of our club competed at the Division A speech contest. Bill Collier took first place in the Humorous Contest and will advance to the District Contest. Steve Burchett took third place in the International Contest. Congratulations Bill and Steve for your excellent performance!
