SERVICE ABOVE SELF

President-elect Deb welcomed all to the August 15, 2023 club meeting held at the Crown Point Country Club.

For our inspirational moment, Sue Dowdell offered this quote from Esther Earl: “A life is not meant to be half lived. It is meant to be fully, wholly embraced. If you want to make a change in the world you have to be strong. You have to take chances. You have to persevere. Sometimes you must blindly go in a direction that you may be unsure of, but one that you have faith will lead you to the right place..”

Song of the Day: Get Together Song
