ANNOUNCEMENTS

The club took a moment of silence for Julie Gauthier. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

We raffled off tickets that Rich Blazo purchased at the Auction. Rich is not felling well and can't make the game. George Orfaly re-purchased the tickets. We also raffled off an I-Pod Touch which Viktoria Talebian purchased. The money will go directly to scholarships.

We will be doing one more fundraiser on May 11th. A celebrity bartending event. Stay tuned for more information on this event.

A pair of reading glasses were left behind at the Hotel. If anyone is missing them please see President John at next weeks meeting.

We had another collection for our Change to Change Lives initiative at today's meeting. So far we have raised well over $2,000.00 for the St. Joseph's Food Pantry.
