President’s Message from John W from our January 15 meeting:
At this week’s meeting Nancy J really rocked with Rock and Roll, Chris Rock, and The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) in a Rock themed meeting. In addition to celebrity name dropping, she kept us entertained and informed with the physical and metaphysical properties or various minerals.

It was also a meeting of first time leaders. Bernie L kept the evaluation portion of the meeting going as General Evaluator and Delores P had us all on our toes with her Table Topics.

We had a very successful meeting this morning with an officer induction, and Ice Breaker, and an AC-Bronze qualifying speech. It would be difficult to pack more activity into a single meeting!
