Split club winner was Ron $12 and yours truly had another chance at the ace and I picked 9 of diamonds.
Our speaker Lynn gave us some important insight on hospice care. This is a subject we don’t wat to discuss until it’s a crisis. It is a health insurance benefit and 2/3 of the care is at home through care givers. Palliative care is different as it is about treating the illness and is not life ending care.

Our fine master John asked for confessions and Phil is the proud grandfather as of today.
Karen was a volunteer at Roswell and they asked her to speak to the staff as she is a dietician.
