THIS
WEEK’S MEETING
Our meeting started a little bit early today so I did not catch the invocation or the flag salute. Those extra two minutes really make a difference! I should have waited a few more minutes though before coming in so that I would have missed our club's attempt to sing "Wild Thing" !!!
SGT.
AT ARMS
Joe Cioken celebrated 40 years of marital bliss-WOW. Gary Green paid a fine for being politically incorrect-again. Karen Bucey and Jenny Goodman increased the odds for the rest of the club to win the progressive pot of money when they failed to pull the magic marble from the bag. Lynn Hamilton went to New Orleans with her 20 year old son. Mary Engles went to Los Angeles for shopping and art.

THIS WEEK'S SPEAKER
Karen Bucey introduced Candace Shuman from S.N.A.P. Ms. Shuman gave an informative overview of the problem with non-neutered animals. There are 14 animal shelters and over 150 rescue groups all trying to find homes for adoptable dogs and cats. Thousands are needlessly euthanized each year because people are not being responsible and spaying or neutering their pets. S.N.A.P. provides a Neuter Scooter that brings quality,low-cost fixes and other services. They also provide educational programs for children. Another aspect of their services is disaster relief during the recent fires. S.N.A.P. is trying to educate the taxpayers that it is more economical to provide spay/neuter services rather than pay mop up costs to house and, likely, kill unwanted animals. For more information, go to www.snap-sandiego.org. The club was pleased to present a check to help with the purchase of a second Neuter Scooter. Remember, please spay and neuter your pets!!
