Brought to you by Gator:
Meeting called to order by President Bob Mullar at 1 p.m. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Membership report: We had two new members join our chapter. They are John
Hewitt and Dean Klieber.
Safety and Ed report: Janie Larson reported due to her job she is looking for
some assistance with her duties as Safety and Ed. Any Officer interested in helping her out, please contact her. This is what being in a club is all about; when someone needs help someone needs to step up.
