Welcome: Richard Hernandez: Membership Chair Neal McEwen welcomed our newest member, Richard Hernandez. Richard is the active member of the Yavapai College corporate membership. He mentioned retiring in 2011, and being a recovery retiree, and went to work 8 hours a week for the college. This evolved into a full time job as Director of Regional Economic Development Center. He is married to Annette and they have 3 children, 2 sons and a daughter. Great Extractions: Old Sliver Tongue Rod Cordes was Sarge and asked Sarah Tomsky to tote the spittoon, and she put $5 in the pot. With the Registrar a no-show, Rod stepped in. Bud and Richard Hernandez did the chore for the missing greeters. Phil Goode was noted for the letter to the editor on his behalf, and we all paid. Intros got a little mixed up and Jane Anne & Susan Cohen's guest, potential member Betty Borst, RN of Nurses Network was overlooked. Jane Anne & Susan Cohen volunteered to work the Little League on Thus. 4/6. SURF has received a large stack of approx. 20 scholarship applications, and with Yoichi's leave, Gus Bergman stepped into the breech to take over and Greg Raskin will assist him. Raffle winner: Prez. AJ won and donated it to the Mock Trial group. Highway 89 Road Crew: Road Chair Rod Cordes asked for volunteers to meet him on Thus., 4/5 and 6 members raised their hands. The crew did a marvelous job of cleaning the stretch of Hwy. 89 for which Sunup is responsible for 3 times year. Norm Samuelson, Rod Cordes, Doug Askerman, Larry Noble, Ben Tuttle and Gus Bergman did the cleanup. Thanks guys! Speakers Last Week: Legal instructor Brenda Lee introduced four of her mock trial club students, and what a sharp bunch of young high school scholars they are! Members of the team are Club President Maddie Jackson, Grace Barrett, Jan Beck and Chris Gundack (also a sax player). There is a once a year competition and last year they finished first and this year second. The team has to practice as plaintiffs, defense, witnesses, cross and redress and opening statements, as they do not what they will be called on to do at the competition. |
