OUR MEETING LAST WEEK

Our speaker was Romar Morris, Executive Director, and some members of his team from Next Generation Academy, gave an overview of the sports and life skills programs they offer children ages 6-14. The focus of the Academy is providing a place where kids can be inspired and be able to visualize a bigger world where they can succeed and give back. Craig Johnson and Chelsea Morris answered questions from the group. Also in attendance was Hanson Saryee. Their motto #strongertogether. Visit www.ngradefenders.com for more information.
Other guests included: Jim Eldridge and Linda Duncan 
Judy Foote and Richard Miller both won door prizes that Janet brought back from her recent trip to Italy. Richard Miller won the chance to draw the joker in the 50/50 drawing, but he drew the Jack of hearts. The pot is at $90 with 51 cards left.
