On Wednesday Morning, April 12th, 2017, Olga Schultz led the Club in the invocation (in Russian) and the pledge (in English). Sgt. At Arms Robbie Selby collected happy bucks. Sandy Harter then let us know about a thank you e-mail from the Director of the Centre of Hope in Guatemala, Geoff Doppenberg, for the $2,000 our club donated to the Centre that was much needed and spent on Windows for the School and for Therapy Equipment. Jon Titus then updated us on the 6/3/17 Club Paint Ball Tournament we will be having. Please ask your friends and contacts for sponsorships, teams and gift certificates. More detailed info on the Tournament will be forthcoming soon.
Robbie then introduced our guest speaker and her friend, Linda Wallace, Chapter Leader of the Southwest Florida Chapter of The Compassionate Friends (TCF). TCF is a non-denominational nationwide organization for people who have lost a child, sibling, or grandchild of any age under any circumstances. Susan Shaw, TCF member also joined us. The members, from all walks of life and ages, meet a few times a month at Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Church and the YMCA. The main mission of TCF is to support the family members of children, brothers, sisters and grandchildren who have passed with their grieving.
If you, or someone you know, has lost a child, sibling or grandchild you may want contact TCF or share TCF with them. For more info go to: https://www.
