Happy Birthday to Suelee!! Javier’s mother baked a nice cake.Suelee had to fork over $61.00 for every year she has been on this earth. She says that she is closer to Medicare but it is rough getting old.

For those of you not attending you missed a wonderful duet sung by John Dooling and Maeve Johnson. They did a nice rendition of “Pop Goes the Weasel”.

Our NFL predictor once again won. I say Jan Truitt has a crystal ball.

Maeve requested baskets for the silent auction. Bring them to the next meeting along with your donations.

Tonja announced that she got the Marana Fire Department to commit to a dinner at the station house. Good going Tonja!

Linda Hansen needs volunteers at 6am Saturday morning to help with the, ”Hunger Walk”.

Some of our members were on hand at the Tucson Airport to meet Lauren (pronounced Lorraine). She hails from Hamburg, Germany. She will be staying with Suelee until after the first of the year. Then she will stay with Jane Howell the remainder of her year.

Welcome back John Swift.

Our speaker was our man of the year for 2011-2012, Ed Stolmaker. Ed is the President/CEO of the Marana Chamber of Commerce. He gave us the dates of the Founder’s Day festivities. He encouraged us to enter the “Bed Race”. There are a few beds available and many of our bike riders could push the bed to the finish line. He gave us the mission statement and visions of Marana. We are members of the Chamber and should get out and support their endeavors..
