About one month ago, our own Rabbi Chava Bahle was diagnosed with lung cancer. She will undergo a lobectomy at Munson this Friday and states it was found early.

She shares on Facebook, “… a linguistic preference for my situation: I’ve worked to practice nonviolence. I am not fighting, battling, beating, or overcoming, cancer. There is cancer in my body. Right now, it is my teacher. I am learning a lot.

We aren’t sure what we’ll need as this is uncharted territory for us. So, for now, what we’d like most is to know you’re living your best life and doing acts of kindness."

Homer Nye reflected on never truly having private conversations, since during those words off to the side with someone, there's mutlple other voices.  What both parties hoped to have said and what the other thought they meant. In times of disagreement, instead of listening, you're onto your fillabuster. He's truly grateful for in person, common communication... over all these emails. 

Marlene Bevan inducted our newest member, Kelvin Shaw, welcome to the club! We remember him from the eRecycling fundraiser which can can still be utilized if  there's any old tech laying around your office. 

Jon Randles introduced our visiting Rotarian, a potential member in the making, and the other guests who joined family friends for lunch. 

Carla Weaver led Happy Bucks by enjoying singing in the chorus that actually sounds like a choir now. 

Miriam Owsley let everyone in on the very last call for Gala Tickets and a random winner of Heads or Tails beads. Congrats Chris Sack, you get 5 extra rounds for the game at the gala.

Please use be hungry for Boone's Prime Time Pub and some international cultural exchange and buy tickets for the outbound exchange students to fundraiser for thier plane tickets. The link is below! I mean who wants to cook on a Wednesday night anyway. 

Our program was introduced by Trevor Tkach. We were lucky Steve Wade ran into the general manger of the TC Pitspitters. Jacueline Holm started off with a game of True OR False with trivia about the team. Clearly Alex Wood knows his stuff since he won the game. The Pittspitters are proving they are a great community asset and even competitive enough for players to place 2 players into the MLB in only 5 years of operation. If you would like printed schedules for your business, they can be requested by emailing Jacueline Holm. Maybe you'd like to plan your next get together at the ball park out in Chum's Corner, it's a great time for the whole family, and the growing community around it. 

The winner of 50/50 was Paul LaPorte's grandson and friend who took home $58.
