Paul’s phone and car died but he was still able to come in 2nd at the clubs member tournament. Mike Austin and John were not to be out done. They golfed at John’s club and Mike got closest to the pin. And Mike celebrated his and Debbie’s 1 year anniversary of meeting each other. Mike Ford got an autograph signed by Tyrod Taylor for his son and got a new puppy. Art confessed to just purchasing his first cell phone. We asked Art not to mention that to too many people. Art apologized for missing a few meetings. He was on vacation. Mike Hettler proceeded to beat up almost everybody pretty good.
The split club was won by Pat Griffin and Ron missed the Ace of Spades.
At this time, Art asked Mike to introduce our speakers. Tricia Hughes and Caitlyn Eagan from the Alzheimer’s Association. Tricia is no stranger to Rotary. Her dad was a Rotarian. Tricia and Caitlyn went over the difference between dementia, the inability to think reason, and remember where Alzheimer’s is not a disease but a group of symptoms that accompany certain diseases. Alzheimer’s touches so many people. Please visit their website, www.alz.org to learn more.
