Good Turnout–We had an excellent turnout for our meeting today and it was good to see Jeff Lanham again!  President Bonnie McFarland opened our meeting on time and Cleeland Willis provided the invocation.  Our singing of “My Country Tis of Thee” was suspended by our Sergeant of Arms, Kurt Dailey, to get everyone on key.  We still need lots of practice.
