Greetings!


I hope you are all ready for Halloween and also Dia de Los Muertos. The two have absolutely nothing in common except they fall around the same time of the year. Halloween is about scary things and chocolate. Dia de Los Muertos is about remembering people in our lives who have passed away. There are various examples of these celebrations in downtown Grants Pass. Check them out. And definitely enjoy fall.


Enjoy!

PROGRAM

Vocationals with Faina Hopkins and RJ Jackson

Vocationals are always a favored program because it's the club's chance to find out more about our newest members. This program is a requirement for all new red badge members. The more we know about a person, the more we can relate to them and get them involved in what our club does.

Upcoming Programs

Nov 4: Shonna Bouteller & Cody Goens Vocationals

Nov 11: Joey Minear and Matt Richardson Vocationals

Nov 18: Student Awards Program

Nov 25: Thanksgiving - Enjoy family and friends - no meeting

Question for you

How many of these have you done? How about a perfect 20?
