Hello, Hello BBRCers! It’s me again! Wow, I get to write the Beacon two weeks in a row! Hopefully, I won’t forget anything this time. So let me start with the Shout Out that I missed (and fined myself for) in the last Beacon. Pat Thompson first reminded us that new club member, William Gordon, needs roster signatures. Please try to introduce yourself to Willie to get that roster signed. Fines could be forthcoming! Pat also relayed a lovely story of a wedding he recently attended. The wedding officiant had to cancel at the next to last moment. The bride’s brother graciously became ordained to officiate his sister’s wedding. This act of kindness and brotherly love was performed by our own, William Gordon. Pat donated $20 to the club coffers for this act. (Again, I apologize to Pat and William for omitting this sweet story. You can read all about my punishment further on in the Beacon). President Jeff Haynes commented that the dip in attendance may be due to the first day of dove hunting season. If that’s the case, many must have gotten up EXTRA early on this Wednesday. Our club meeting began with Athena Collup delivering a beautiful invocation and President Jeff leading us in the flag salute. Songstress Carol Smith led us in a chorus in “America (My Country, ‘Tis of Thee).” Denise Haynes introduced guest Marty Chatham who found us on our website and asked to attend a meeting. He was once involved in a club in Lompoc. Welcome, Marty, and we hope you choose BBRC! |
