A day to take care of club business with no guest speaker. Often awards are given or a fun activity is held. You will probably learn something today about your club.
The meeting today was held offsite. Thanks to Debe Dockins, Erin Laurito and her cute daughters, Beth Duncan, Joan Cordonnier, and Mary Ann Mackenzie for arranging the picnic that was a tasty and fun event.
Today we heard a recap of the Wall That Heals from Debe Dockins. Then we heard Patrick Arehart give some tips and training on using online forms instead of clipboards to volunteer or to attend social events. By using online forms, you are helping event organizers save a lot of time.
Gary Smiga presented the 2023 awards and the renewals from last year. This year there were five first-year winners and five renewals.

Applicants also write an essay which is used to select the winners.

Today was a “Club Day,” so there was no guest speaker. President Beth Duncan had bingo cards on all the tables today with CNO events and committees on the squares.
