ANNOUNCEMENTS
Words of Wisdom - President Chip said that in honor of his Father whose birthday was February 13, he wanted to share with us something he would ask Chip and his 6 siblings: “When you get ready for school and look yourself in the mirror ask: what will you do to make the world a better place?” Then at dinnertime, he would ask: “What did you do?” Are we part of the problem or part of the solution?
Board Meeting on February 14 - President Chip mentioned that the board meeting went well. He pointed out that the board approved a Paul Harris Fellow in honor of Laura Haviland who started the first bi-racial school in the state of Michigan!
