Summer has fully arrived with nice warm weather and cool evenings. You just have to love our climate especially when you see what is happening throughout the rest of the country. I hope everyone is enjoying their vacations and other summer activities.The elections for the next year’s Board of Directors will be held by the end of August. Anyone interested in getting involved, please contact us. Please see me or anyone else on the Board. All of us on the Board and Past Big Sirs will be happy to answer any questions. Remember our next luncheon is Thursday August 1st.
Little SIR
Bill Staack
Guest Speaker
Our speaker in August will be Valerie Pryor who is the General Manager for the Zone 7 Water District. I’m sure it will be an interesting discussion about our current water situation after our very wet winter and all the projects and changes happening in our water district.
Treasurer's Report
Tom Reif
Please note: If you come in late for a meeting and there is no one at the table to buy a lunch ticket, please check the sign at the table to see where a treasurer (Wendell Moen, Jack Ogden or Tom Reif) is sitting and buy your ticket. Thanks for your help.
