WINTER 2008
November 20 Erin Harrell gave an interesting (compelling, in fact!) and all inclusive talk on building deconstruction. During her travels in October and November she attended a national conference on the subject. December 18 was the Club’s Holiday Luncheon, featuring grab-bag gifts and a performance by the Song-Men Four, featuring our own Skip Gillis at tenor.
Afterwards Tony Munson read from his treasured series of pieces on English lore, this time a Northern Englander's take on the Magna Carta.

Today we were doubly blessed to have two outstanding speakers.
First was Josh Murphy, subbing at the last minute for Gail Robbins whose mother is ill. He told us about the Food Bank and his work specifically with the Produce to People. It has spent $164,000 for food at the Braddock site, first Saturday of each month. This serves an average of 412 families, meeting the criteria of an income of $30,000 for a family of 4. Each month about 35-50 lbs. of food are handed out. Josh and the food bank are very appreciative of our hands on work, at the Blazing Bingo.
