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.

8. Group Concerns/Good of the Group: Bill E. has copies of the new law being required for new drivers licenses by Oct 2020. They will be needed to get into airports, on to planes and into federal buildings. For more information, go to AZDOT.gov/travelID. Susan D. shared that she and Gene had gone on a tour of the new Mormon Temple on Skyline. It is gorgeous inside and there were hundreds of volunteers to answer any questions. If interested, check with Susan because you have to park at a different location and take a shuttle to the temple. The tours run throughout the month. You need to go to the website for more information and to sign up, templeopenhouse.lds.org. Jorge A. talked to Richard Roberts. He and Val are having fun in San Diego. They will be going to Seattle in another month and will then be coming home.
