Prez Greg called us to “order” and asked D= ano to lead the song. Dano “dared” us to sing the Star Spangled Banner (with Doris’ help). After 3 to 6 b= ars of the song (depending on which member you were listening to) we threw in the towel and reverted to God Bless America. Prez Greg said we sounded like “strangled cats”

Bob McEachen led the pledge

Greg R. gave the benediction

Two guests told about a special event this w/e @ the H= B Playhouse.

Vagina Monologues will be presented Sat/Sun ONLY ̵= 1; all proceeds to benefit 1736 House. Tickets $35 to $100. Show features 10 women doing monologues about a subject dear to all of our hearts. Since there were no Sponsored Youth pres= ent – the discussion/comments were “quite topical”

Rick K. reported on the Brotherhood Luncheon. Rafer Jo= hnson, 1960 Olympic Gold Medallist, and co-founder of the Special Olympics in 1967, was the speaker.
