Larry Nuffer asked us to remember all the special people in our lives, past and present and also those serving so gallantly in Iraq. Jim and Linda lead us in a rousing rendition of “A grand Old Flag”. Patriotism is a wonderful thing.

This Week’s Speaker

Gary Green had the privilege of introducing our speaker, Dr. Batra, a most amazing Dr. and human being. Dr. Batra immigrated from India at a young age, was a captain in the U.S. Army during Desert Storm and built a very successful career as a plastic surgeon. He spoke of an organization that he and Dr. Michael Hall started. It is called D.O.C.S, Doctors offering charitable services. This organizations does most of it’s work in the San Diego and Northern Mexico area. Dr. Batra is a plastic surgeon and does this work gratis. Funds donated are used for equipment and supplies. We were all touched by the positive effect this Doctor and his organization has on the lives of many unfortunate people. He has certainly changed my opinion of plastic surgery. They specialize in helping those who fall through the cracks of our medical system and have improved the lives of many people.
