Phather Phil’s Prayer
Heavenly Father you have brought us to the place you wanted us to be. Help us to do your good works. The more we do the happier we become and the more we see to do. So it stands to reason, if we want to be happy we need to do something for someone else. Happiness is contagious and is passed around and it comes back to us. We know that happiness is planting a seed where a flower will grow. Be with us Lord, as we plant
seeds of happiness. Amen!

Today’s Speaker
Today’s meeting was the annual presentation of the Robert J. O’Toole EMT/Firefighter Award. The 2017 recipient of this award, that is given in honor of Bob O’Toole, who lost his life in 1998 in the line of duty, is Brandon Strunk. Bob Burkman provided everyone with background on the award and then asked Gary Anderson to come to the podium and speak about “Bobby” O’Toole – who was a student at CHS when Gary was West Unit Principal. Then Chief Bill Gaul, came to the podium and introduced Brandon Strunk to a lengthy standing ovation from the audience that included Bob O’Toole’s parents. Here is more information about Bob O’Toole and the award:
