February18th was our President's Day meeting. We were honored to have Dale Ford (1993-94), Toni Kay Fenton (1994-95), Mary Mar (1995-1996), Warren Willard (1996-97), Ed Hardenburgh (1997-98), Woody Jones (1999-2000), Rick Topping (2000-01), Kris Khurana (2002-03), Richard Milo (2003-04), Dr, Bob Larsen (2004-05), John Alcorn (2005-06), and Ray Sanford (2006-07). That is 12 of the 18 Presidents since the club was formed. Most are still active in the club, but some are unable to be involved. It was a real treat to have them with us and to share many stories of fun times. The tradition continues. This week we are gaining a new member, Gregory Lambourne. He will be our 59th active member.
His graduate work was to study the causes and effects of poverty. He spoke of his experiences in Africa and how he and a fellow student lived for 3 months on the average income of a poor person in Africa. He shared how the experience had changed his outlook on what you really needed in your life; the difference in 'wants' and 'needs'. These differ. In America, we want a cell phone, but also have land lines. In Africa, cell phones are needed since there is no telephone infrastructure.
