THE PROGRAM DIDN'T SHOW and program Chairthing David Marks was severely fined two-bits and did his best to explain the USO - United Through Reading program. David will take the books gathered today to the USO at DFW. A video is made of a soldier reading a book for his young child. The video, the book and a gift are packaged up and given to the child while his dad is deployed overseas.

IN A FIT OF BUMBLING INEPTITUDE, President Randy passed over Sharon Lewis's scheduled Classification Talk and instead called on Scott Villines [Chiropractor] to tell us what he does. Scott rambled around in the personal stuff before getting into what he does as a Doctor of Chiropractics.

SHARON LEWIS FINALLY GOT HER MOMENT IN THE SPOTLIGHT. She reintroduced Kyle Chron, son of Rick Chron [Towing]. He is one of three partners who bought Lewis Paint and Body Shop from Sharon and Johnny Lewis.  The business, which was started by Johnny's parents, is more than 50 years old and has earned a lot of support from Bud McBrayer and George Elking. The boys have renamed it "SheerMetal Collision Repair".  Sharon also reminded us to distribute the OktoberFest Posters to businesses all over town.

David Marks is going to look into a Golf Tournament with Relief Nursery of Collin County for a possible Spring Fund raiser.  He already has a major sponsor and advice from a similar event being held Oct 19th.
