October 2005 |
Our September meeting was attended by, Dan Randall, Terry and MC Scott, Charlie and Darnell Gibson, Dick and Fran
Salveson, Rick Totty, Tod Beers and yours truly. We appreciate y’all coming~ We did not have any visitors.
We started our meeting with a moment of silent prayer for the victims as well as the relief workers that are helping in the
recovery from Hurricane Katrina.
Thanks to Dan Randal and his connection with the Grizzlies, we elected to make a $100.00 donation to the Hurricane Katrina victims
through their Memphis Grizzlies Chartable Foundation. The team owner, Michael Heisley, graciously offered to match all cash gifts
on a 1:1 basis, and then the $200.00 donation will be forwarded to the American Red Cross. Our thanks to the entire Grizzlies organization;
we do appreciate your concern and help.
