PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Last week we welcomed Carrie Ann Gaines, creator of "A Safe Pack". These bulletproof inserts are designed to easily slip inside a child's backpack in the unfortunate event that they are in need of protection.

I would also like to thank everyone who came to pay their respects to Past President Steve Johnston. Many moving and heartfelt sentiments were shared by several of his friends and his memory will live on with our Club! If you would like to contribute to his funeral costs, there is still time to donate to our GoFundMe page, or contribute directly through the club!
