Make-ups turned in: Rutter at the "Singing" club. Does he new breakfast club sing? at 7:15?
Guests: Bud Price (Dir of Operations Geisinger Health & potential member & neighbor of Don's), a guest of Don Bedell
50/50: The first stage of the 50/50 drawing was won by Dennis Martella, but sadly for him, he alas, drew the lonely king of diamonds and will have to have his number drawn again to be able to go for stage two and approximately $1550 to split. There will only be 17 cards next time.

    Previous Week's Speaker: Eileen Wise, Exec Director of Smart Start-Centre County

    Eileen Wise, new Executive Director of Smart Start-Centre County, gave a 20-minute presentation about the work of this 5-year-old network of visionary volunteers. Dr. Wise believes that by concentrating on improving the quality of experiences of young children in our county, not only the children and their immediate families will benefit. In fact, all of the residents of Centre County have much to gain. Smart Start volunteers pool expertise and passion to support programs that work, and to fill gaps in existing services.

    Ellie Beaver, one of the founders of Smart Start, introduced the speaker whose office is housed in the Centre County United Way suites.
