Guests: Marci Kauffman, Director of Memberships for the Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce, guest of Colby Davis, and our program for today. Vic Edwards, Financial Advisor guest of Harley Macklin. He will be installed as our newest member at our meeting on Aug 7th.

Sergeant’s Corner: Big Hatters Brad Thompson and Jeff Brewer collected the weekly presidential tax from Andrew Parr. They then singled out Jay Pitzer, Big Hat co/president and one the most decorated local Big Hats, for failing to have his hat with him, and levied an appropriate fine. Then all other Big Hats not sporting their hat paid for their oversight. Big Hat president Duke Wigginspaid $5 for failing to send reminder notices. Then Jeff collected fines from members who could not guess how many miles he drove on his recent vacation. Correct answer – 4027 and one tired butt.
