Greetings from Portugal!   Kathe will be leading the meeting today with me being out of town.   While I'm enjoying the time away with my family, I will be sad to miss our speaker tomorrow as JD has a great one lined up.  Robert Eccleston who is a sculptor will be speaking to our club.    Robert has made many sculptures honoring veterans and first responders.  With Veterans Day in a couple of weeks, this presentation is very timely.   I also want to thank JD for lining up a great speaker last week as well.   Joe Castillo has an amazing  story of riding his horse all the way from Laporte to Washington DC in honor of those who didn't make it home. 

 

Next week is our Alumni Lunch. We have had a good amount of RSVP's so far.  I want to thank everyone who has reached out to Alumni and invited them to this event.  It's not too late to invite others!

 

Finally, I wanted to share some sad news.    Monty let me know that Tom Daugherty passed away last Wednesday.   I know many of you knew Tom well.  Monty will be speaking to the club about him today and I believe he has information about when the Memorial Service is.
