f.        Thought of the Day:  Armando gave us a really funny thought for the day at the end of the meeting.
  1. Group Concerns/Good of the Group
  • It was pointed out about having the lunches at The Station on the same day as the birthdays and that it might be too much all on one day.  I think, and correct me if I’m wrong on this, but I think the consenses is that we have the speakers on the 1st Thursday of the month, the birthday celebrations on the 2nd Thursday of the month and we will have the lunches at The Station on the 3rd Thursday of the month.  Please let me know if I got this right.
  • Kristi was asked to speak about her vacation and I said I had a wonderful time but that I missed everyone here and that I told everyone there about everyone here and how we have all come together to form our own little family!
  1. Adjournment:  Bill E.  The meeting ended at 9:59 AM.
