SPEAKER: Francesca De La Cruz - Our visitors from East View brought the program. Francesca works for Star Systems Int'l which does programs which educate the public re fire prevention and fire protection. Fire is the #1 killer in American Homes. Smoke detectors don't always do the job. Wiring and electric appliances are major causes of fire. Have evacuation/escape plans well understood and don't think it can't happen to you. Your real enemy is time as fire spreads quickly.	HAPPY/SADS: Anna happy re???, Earl whacked? Yvonne happy re bust? Nick happy niece baptized, Whit happy re ?, Greg W sad re root canal (oh no, this is bad!), Linda happy Ria here as guest, Jeannie happy re flowers and Terry ride to hospital, Cathy sad Circle K piggy bank too small, Tony happy re hot dog booth, helpers, sad re block party. Sam happy Anne better. Interclub visitors happy to be hear and hear our silly jokes.
