7. Group Concerns/Good of the Group:
· Don’t forget that Val and Rich R. invited everyone to their lovely home on Tuesday December 20th for their annual Christmas party. Please bring a dish to share and arrive around 6:30.
· Larry L. brought up the fact that Yahoo was hacked into and suggested that if anyone has a Yahoo account, they should change their password and security question ASAP.
· Craig S. reported that they hiked around the Desert Museum, Brown Mountain and did over 22,000 steps! And in keeping with the hiking subject, it was pointed out to me that Point of Grace is NOT, I repeat not a church but in fact a dance studio! I submit that they should change the name cause “Point of Grace” sure sounds like a church to me!
8. Thought of the Day: Sandy P. Sandy told a lovely thought of the day and as always, a killer joke.
9. Adjournment: Iles W.: Meeting was adjourned at 10:08 AM.
