Guests: Bishop Janette Jane, Director of the Hub Community Center, our speaker for today.
Sergeants Playground: Brad Thompson announced that he had volunteered his services as our Sergeant at Arms for the 2013-2014 year. He warned all of us to wear our pins and carry our gift cards at all meetings or face serious fines. No excuses accepted. He and his toilet-bearer Stan M. began by levying a Presidential fine on Dane Power. This will likely become a weekly tradition. They fined Ward and Colby Davis for smarting off to the Sergeant, Don G just because, Duke W for being the Big Hat president that called him at 4:30 to request his fining services at the Big Hat Breakfast the next morning, Jay Pitzer for being the previous Big Hat president, Bob B for being late, and Tom Hymer for his flag design shirt. Tom paid extra to remind everyone of the traveling Vietnam War Memorial to be on display at the VFW ball field this weekend. Dennis R. paid to announce daughter Allisons being recognized by the Red Cross as a Home Town Hero for her work on refurbishing a house locally.
Announcements: President Dane announced that he had combined the Social Committee into the Membership Committee, with Randall Haltom agreeing to be chairman. The goal is to begin small group activities outside of our regular Friday morning meetings. The board also put its stamp of approval on a new 16 Amtryke for Breana Glaspie, who had been approved by the Community Affairs Committee during their recent meeting. It will be presented in the near future.
Program: President-Elect and Program Chair Jeff Roberson introduced our guest speaker, Bishop Janette Jane, Director of the Hub Community Center. The Center is located at 211 East 4th Street just east of the Burger King. Their Mission Statement is we endeavor to make a positive Christian impact on the lives of people in need of support services. Those services include overnight emergency lodging, worship services to compliment other services in the community, and referrals to support services in the Hutchinson/Reno County area. They strive to remove those who might otherwise be dependent on welfare and provide them the opportunity to move forward in their journey toward self support.

Drawings:
The 50/50 pot of $18.00 was won by Andrew Parr, who donated it to the Hub.
The Newsletter drawing went begging again, as Ron Quicks name came up for the second week in a row. Lets shake up the bag or something. Next weeks question for $15 is who will be our next Amtryke recipient?
