GUESTS: Aubrey Abbott Patterson, Hutchinson Community Foundation and daughter Sady Jane, guests of Kathy Hanks.
SGT. REPORT: Sgt. John and his young assistant Sady patrolled the room for the unsuspecting AMBUC. President Dorinda paid for holding a lofty position. Tom H., Steve C. and this editor paid for an error in last weeks newsletter. Brad T. paid for arriving after Dorinda at the Board Meeting (some things are never lived down!). This editor was fined by Asst. Sady for telling answers (but Kathy H. wasnt). Other AMBUCS were fined for not knowing the headlines of todays newspaper.
MEMBERSHIP: Invite a business associate or friend to breakfast. Many current AMBUCS became members after experiencing the Hutchinson AMBUCS for themselves.
PROGRAM: Kathy Hanks introduced Aubrey Patterson of the Hutchinson Community Foundation as our guest speaker. The community foundation administers donations for particular purposes and for the community in general. The staff of 5 individuals assisted in the making of over 3.3 million dollars in grants in 2016 alone. The foundation continues to educate through seminars to donors and non-profits. The foundation asks everyone to consider donating 5% to the community from their respective estates so a portion of their assets do not leave the city or state. The offices for the Hutchinson Community Foundation are located on the 5th floor of the First National Bank building
