Secretary’s Report for August 27th, 2009

We had a good time last week.  Topics were done well by Pam Dinkle.  She did research on Government Healthcare.  Stephanie took home the ribbon by answering what incentives she would use to get people interested in keeping themselves healthy.

We had two great speeches and they were both about our canine friends.

Becky Workman spoke about “earth angels”.  Dogs are playful, reliable, forgiving, loyal to a fault, love you no matter what, etc., and good listeners.  It’s amazing what they can be taught; and some have that “sixth sense”     to help people with epilepsy, sleep apnea, the blind, in natural disasters, etc.  Aren’t they amazing creatures?  Nice speech Becky.

Stephanie’s speech “Puppy Love” was about her new puppy “Bailey” and how this adorable puppy is helping her get through her heartbreak and loss of Wicket.  This little ball of fur is energetic, playful and a joy to have.  And guess what, they bonded right away, because Bailey peed all over Stephanie on the way to her new home.  We wish you many happy years with Bailey. Stephanie took home the ribbon for Best Speech.

We had two very good evaluations with helpful suggestions.  Leigh took home the ribbon for Best Evaluation.  All other jobs were done well.
