    offered to help.  Timeframe from around 12 to 3, or when the chili runs out.
Paul Harris Award Presentation:  Mike Velgouse did the honors presenting the award to
    his wife Catherine.  She attained the award through the Paul Harris Sustaining Fellow
    program, which we all should be contributing to.  The program requires a yearly 
    contribution that accumulates to the full Paul Harris Award amount, at which time the
    award is presented.  Congratulations John on naming Catherine.
    John Donnelly gave a brief discussion on the Foundations work and the projects our
    club has participated in.
Editors Note:  Although the turnout was light (about 20-24) a good time was had by all.  Let's
    all try to make the night evening meeting, it's really a fun night with good fellowship.
