Our Program on June 20th was President Steve Frazier presenting the Frazier Presidency 2022-2023. Darel Leipold was our Greeter and Opening Marshal read his poem, “When Angels Smile” to commemorate his 91st birthday on June 21st. 
Steve started the program by reviewing the two event since our last meeting which was the STRIVE & MAD Luncheon and the Spring Highway Clean-up. Steve then called for a Club Assembly and explained the need for a dues increase of $50. He then placed the nominations for the Randy’s Board of Directors and a unanimous ballot was cast.
Frazier reviewed his Presidency by first thanking Karen (with some tears) for encouraging him to do a 2nd term and noted that he had dedicated this year to her memory. He then thanked the Board of Directors and Foundation Board for a very successful year.
