Four Club Members Speak to Club
As our guest speaker for the evening could not attend because he had Covid, four of our club members spoke to us - Eve Bao, Tony Cornelius, Ron Hunter  and President Kathy Bryant.  Each member made 4 statements about themselves and each table had to guess which statement was not true.  We all learned a little about each of them including what was not true.  The prize for the winning table of a trip to the Islands fell through so we all received a chocolate bar. It was a lot of fun.
