Sunday, September 9th is the Duck Barbecue. Everyone is to do the jobs they did in the past. Any new members just show up -- you will be given a job. Werner is providing the water melon, corn and potatoes. The early crew is Peter, Steve, Rich, Sue, Cheryl.

We had the Sergeants report, 50/50, and the Foundation Raffle.

We had a wonderful guest speaker this week Brianna Caldwell. She brought with her wonderful pictures of her 8 or 9 month trip over much of the world. It was a non profit trip of about 50 people 6 to a group. They back packed and had tents to sleep in, it was very primitive and they went to extremely poor areas. I think it will be something she will remember for the rest of her life. Barbara thank you so much for bringing her to our meeting.

Remember Sept. 6th Thursday, we are at the camp at 5 PM for setting up for the barbecue. All are expected to attend. Remember to bring your ticket money. Newt gets the Big Duck money. Barbara gets the Duck Dinner tickets money and the small duck race money.
