Colombi announced that on Sunday, September 11, the Presbyterian Church would
hold its annual tolling of the bells for the victims of 9/11. All members were
invited to attend between 8 am and 10:30am and to participate in the event. As
each name is read, the bell is tolled for all the victims of 9/11. He cautioned
that there are three flights of stairs to reach the bell tower.
Saul
Resnick proposed an idea for attracting new members and requested comments from
those in attendance. Since he has written three articles on club members, he
will approach the local papers to see if they are interested in publishing
them. The idea is to show the diverse backgrounds of members and encourage
others to join the club. Those present thought it was a good idea, so he will
proceed.
Walt

jeopardy due to low signup, but there is still time to meet our break even
