President Warren presents a plaque to Jask Heslin and Black Jack Enterprises for his generous support of the Magnificent Midlothian Food Festival in 2006.
This Week's Program Sam M introduced Rick Gray of the Village News. Rick gave a very interesting presentation on his views of education and life in the 21st century. Rick is a proponent of alternative secondary schools focusing on teaching our teen agers to help them find their way in life before they go to college. Many young people know early on the path they want to persue in life. (nursing, acting, fire fighting, and law enforcement were a few vocations mentioned.) Starting this preparation earlier in life may stir interest in students who may otherwise be lost in the large school setting of today's society Rick's talk was very interesting and may cause us to look a little different way to approach education. He has talked to all members of the school board as well. Watch Rick's column in the Village news for further developments on this and other controversal local/state/national issues
Upcoming Programs Next week our speaker host will be Boo and her guest is Jules Harrison. Be sure to check the website calendar for future speaker hosts

Today's pot was over $1000 if the winner drew the Q Hearts from the four remaining cards. Scott was not the lucky winner, but walked away with $86 anyway. Next week chances are 1 in 3.
As Always, we close the meeting with the 4-way test....Of the things we think, say, and do...
