FUN & FINES
Teresa Nye led Fun & Fines, kicking off with her own announcement of an upcoming wedding and anticipated new baby - $5. She shared her grandmother’s wisdom: “You never do know how long it takes for the first baby after marriage…from the second baby on, they all take nine months.”
David Cotant paid $5 for recent contact with past president Don Paradise, who sent a check to support the Golf Tournament. David is sending it back to add some zeros….
Randy Black angled for a lower fine after his trip to a Water Conference in Toronto. Apparently the traffic was sufficiently challenging that he does not expect to return anytime soon and his payment is reduced to $10.
Ellie Carr attempted to summit Mt. Rainier. She paid $50 for the attempt; would be more for a summit.
PROGRAM
Sheri Hodson presented on her trip to the Holy Land including many slides and a book containing over 400 pictures. This trip included learning about the area, discoveries there which are continuing through current day, faith components of the trip and the emotional impact of the trip.
There is a lot of Roman, Jewish and Christian history in the area and artifacts are discovered regularly. Sometimes the religions agree on history and where things happened; other times there are different accounts.
