Menu: Ribs or fried fish, Potatoes with ham, dessert. Greg Williston gave the invocation, noting
that last Monday was Columbus Day, and also Indigenous People’s day,
celebrating the few survivors of the “discovery” of the “New world” Most were
enslaved, died of various diseases carried by their discoverers or were
uprooted and forced to march to the deserts.
On some reservations children were taken to boarding schools because the
authorities deemed their parents unfit.
There were hundreds of women and children massacred. To cap it all off,
Columbus was really looking for the East Indies. The first person to “discover” North America
was Leif Erickson in 1000 AD.

Hockaday sent a nice note to the club thanking them for the Get Well Soon Card
they had sent him. Sue Bosch won an
award from Kiwanis. Phil Nicklas’s wife
had a baby. George Owren had a grandson
on the EHS football team. Look Pad who is our exchange student from Thailand,
not a new Apple Product, gave the club mementoes from her country. A casually dressed newly retired Tom
Schallert announced that the Blood Mobile they obtained with matching grants
from Rotary had been shipped to Nigeria.
We inducted two new members but I didn’t get their names.
Our presenter was Barb Spangler our District
Governor. She spoke to this year’s theme
“Be the Inspiration” and urged us to do what matters. Some of the things her father taught
her: It’s nice to be nice, and” You can
do it, Barbie baby” That motivated her
to become the first female sumo wrestler to compete in a tournament in Japan. (
just kidding)
