September 30 - The speaker was our own Jean Constant, who gave an interesting and entertaining presentation on South Korea, where he recently attended an art & science conference. (By the way, he received the People's Choice award!). About half the attendees that day were visitors and there was so much interest in the presentation, Jean was still answering questions at 9:15 when I got up to get ready to leave!

September 23 - The speaker was District Governor Lonnie Leslie. Special visitors included his wife Ardeth, Lleta Scoggins, Lt. Governor, and Linda Hull, Assistant Governor pictured on the left with Centro Past President Barry Gerst.

September 16 - The speaker was Denise Sanchez, Past President of the del Sur club. She gave a presentation on La Caja del Oro project. The del Sur club raised $1,600 to purchase fun and educational games and activities for the waiting room at La Familia Medical Clinic (our club's foundation was one of the donors). Prior to the installation of these games and activities, including a colorful rug, the room was bare except for plastic chairs and there was literally nothing for the children to do while they waited to see the doctor. The rug can be seen in the right picture.

September 9 - The speaker was Karin Lubin of Quantum Leap Coaching and Consulting. She spoke on "Purpose, Passions and Possibilities!"
