The bylaws committee gave its presentation of the proposed changes to the current bylaws at the July meeting. After much discussion and input by the club members, the changes were voted on by secret ballot. The results will be discussed at the Aug. 9 meeting.
We had another enjoyable time at our annual picnic at Falcons Club in June. This event is one that we look forward to every year for socializing and to enjoy great picnic fare. Most of us spent time in the pavilion keeping cool, while a few braved the heat and sat under the trees. Food was abundant as usual and no one went home hungry.
