THE BULLETIN IDITOR IS OUT OF TOWN working and this bulletin is fabricated from super notes taken by Sharon Lewis.  Excellent pictures as usual from Bill Neukranz.
 
WHERE IN THE WORLD IS ROTOPIG? President Richard Biggers, who is the official custodian of our fine bucket, was severely fined for failure to bring ROTOPIG to the meeting.  He claims that he thought ROTOPIG was in his truck and that his wife must have moved him.  He was fined again for blaming someone else for his dereliction of duty. Doug had to use one of the Junior pigs.


NEW BADGES WERE PRESENTED. An Honorary membership went to Hunter Hanks born July 17th. He weighed 8 lbs, 11oz and was 22" long. Only problem:  It was the wrong badge type. Danny Morris [Software Engineer] finally got his regular badge.
SILENT AUCTION CHAIRTHING JUDY JACKSON, with some help from Doug Ray, passed out packets containing silent auction info.

TODAY'S PROGRAM was a report from our RYLA students: Taylor Timinsky and Kevin Dillon, both from Plano East Senior High School. They shared their experiences at Camp RYLA and thanked the club for the opportunity to go. Tom Ryan [PDG] and Beth Digby [Assistant Activities Director of Camp RYLA] gave more specific details about the camp and showed a video of Past camps. Motto was "Reach for the Future". A book was donated to the Nellie McCall Library at the David McCall Elementary School in the name of Taylor and Dillon and duly signed by them. The book was "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" <LINK>.
