Anita Daniels volunteered her shameless self promotion, she wanted all to know about fabulous interest rates on car loans and equity lines.  Rates are as low as 1.99%.  Judy Hess was kind enough to accept the fine since Anita was already a bell ringer

Kyle Daugherty mentioned that April 20 is the Big Brother and Big Sister Bowling Event.  He attempted to solicit 4 volunteers for this event.   This was a bit challenging but I think he finally succeeded.

Maryann Cartan missed two meetings.  She made 1 up in Nevada City and the other in Arizona where the ex CEO of Intel talked about Arizona education.  She was fined $25 for the trip.

We sang Happy Birthday to Judy Hess’s mom who turned 85 that day.  She was not at the meeting but it was a fun time for all of us

Our speaker today was Sandy Jacobson.  (JAKE) is the Executive Director of Community Services.  She came to speak about her organization and all of their  programs which are made to fund the meal program which delivers meals to those $60 and older.
