Our October meeting will be this coming Monday, October 9, at Junior’s Sandwiches, 9347 North Main Street. Meet, greet and eat will be from 5:30 – 6:30 with the meeting starting at 6:30 p.m. Since Irma caused us to cancel our September meeting, I look forward to reconvening on the 9th. Jerry Holland was our scheduled speaker for September and has graciously agreed to speak this month. On a sad note, Jerry lost his mother last week. Please be in prayer for Jerry during this time.

An update to our collection of donations for hurricane victims. The truck scheduled for Texas was delayed due to Irma and then cancelled. I was able to contact the Salvation Army and they gratefully picked up the donated items and were delivered to areas of need. I sincerely appreciate the generosity of all those that contributed to this effort.

I know all of you share in the realization that we live in dark times. It is difficult to see all that is going on in our country. Who would have ever thought our National Anthem or our beautiful flag would be a cause of division in this country. Keep the faith and know that we have one another to lean on and to stand with.
