This Saturday I complete my second (nonconsecutive) term as your president. It has been my honor to support our club in our service of children.

It will also be your last opportunity to poke fun at me as your president.

RESERVOIR RUN PLANNING

Reservoir Run planning is in high gear. President Harry and others are pursuing sponsors. Frank Ferrara is warming up the SignUpGenius machine. There is no shortage of volunteer opportunities. Watch for the list and pick several opportunities to support out signature fundraising event.

Lauren Traum, at the podium, inducted Jacqueline Torres at last week's meeting flanked by proud sponsor Steve Thomas, left, and co-sponsor Frank Ferrara.

Steve introduced Jacqueline in a way that left members with an appreciation of the background and promise of our (then newest) member.
