The menu was spaghetti, meatballs in gravy, chicken Cacciatori , bread and salad bar. President Matthew Owen called the meeting to order. Past President Greg Pierson led us in the flag salute. Matt Murrish gave the invocation. There was a larger than usual crowd because State Senator Mike McGuire was scheduled to speak. Owen had a picture of Dale Warmuth’s outfit for the the fundraiser High Heels for Healing. He came dressed as Dorothy in an outfit that would make the Wicked Witch of the West pour water on herself. Christian Hill announced the winners of March Madness. Jack Reike and Jay Bahner fared the worst. They invested $1400 each and got checks for $125. Greg Bowen was recognized for coming to the meeting.
Our speaker was California State Senator Mike McGuire. He grew up in Healdsburg and was a Sonoma State graduate. At 19 years of age he won his first election-to the School board- and was subsequently elected the youngest mayor ever (of Healdsburg). He became a senator in 2014. He said his grandma’s helpful hints were 1. Work Hard. 2. Assume everyone is smarter than you. 3. Never take “no” for an answer. He said spending is up because lower income people are making more money but they can’t afford to save. California leads the nation in job creation. Our schools need additional funding. The state has 22% of the country’s homeless and a quarter of them are veterans. He’s going to bring back the nursing program to Humboldt State. Things to be proud of: Humboldt Del Norte, Lake and Mendocino counties account for 60% of the pot grown in the US.
