Last Week:  Charles Grotyohann, our new club president for 2016-2017, opened the meeting with prayer and a rousing God Bless America. Charles noted that Johnny "Casino" Roberts is the new President-elect responsible for programs, and that he sports a new “VP” pin.

Randy Parks, Chaplain of NMC, spoke on Advanced Care Planning for Healthcare.  Randy works closely with doctors and nurses and is aware of the need for advanced care planning, which includes both advanced directives and long term care insurance. Why plan ahead? Peace of mind for yourself and family. Appoint one spokesperson to speak for you if the need arises. Charles G. spoke briefly about long term care insurance (which is not covered by Medicare).

 

Guests:  Denise Current’s granddaughter, Clarisse, and John Powers.  Jerry Nechamkin welcomed our guests and thanked them for bringing the sunshine.

Carolyn Ottenbreit is to be honored. Committee members are needed.  The 25th Anniversary of the Festival of Lights is November 12, 2016.  Our regular meeting on July 27th will be at Newton Medical Center at 12 noon.
