Discussion was held on our philanthropy projects for the year.  We are participating in the program called “Athletes Don’t”, which educates students on the dangers of vaping.  Health professionals volunteer to go into the schools to present the information.  Let Linda Hazelgren if you are interested in presenting.

We are also collecting new socks and underwear for Micah ministries for the cold weather shelter.  Bring donations to any of our local meetings and Tiffany Simons will deliver them together.
