We had a very informative meeting today with Mr. Ken Willette of the Nassau County Council on Aging as our guest speaker. Mr. Willette provided information on the services the Council provides to our elderly such as transportation, food delivery, in-home care, etc. With a constant need for funding, especially for food related items, the Club voted to donate $250 to the Council to help in that area. President Ron Noble attended the District Conference held in Jacksonville over the weekend and was presented with a "Governors Cup" for the Club's efforts in increasing membership and community service. Ron gave notice that the Yulee Optimist will host the zone meeting on Wednesday, July 28th at Murray's Grille, 6pm. Please mark that on your schedule and let's have a great turn-out for the Zone. Next week's speaker will be Ms. Deborah Bowen of Earthly Treasures. Plan to join us and learn about GOLD!

The meeting was a huge success with the Honorable Ron Noble, President, presiding. Club member Dave O'Keefe and his wife, Bonnie we'll be leaving the area soon for a few months to return to Rhode Island for the summer months. Dave spoke about the thrills and challenges of living on a 40' boat and presented pictures of the boat and the area. The 50-50 pot is up to $292 and waiting for a lucky winner - you gotta "attend to win"! The speaker next week will be Mr. Ken Willette with the Nassau County Council on Aging.

We had Mr. Bob Sieg along with his wife from the "Sons of the Confederacy" speak at our meeting Tuesday and they provided historical information about their group, all descendants of Confederate soldiers. Our esteemed President gave a report on the Shrimp Festival Parking fundraiser, confirming that we had another successful year, grossing $1680. 10% will go to the Shrimp Festival Committee, as per the rules, but the balance will stay with the Club. New members Bonnie and Dave O'Keefe are pictured putting in their volunteer hours. Thank you all for helping out this year!
