YMCA’s Center for Community Impact
The Lakewood Key
Paula Olson
With the clang of the bell, the meeting of the day before Halloween started. Those finishing up their pot roast lunch lurched to their feet to hear Mary Marlin give a thoughtful, original invocation. President Barlow couldn’t get anyone to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance; he was forced to do it himself and he did a good job. Wendy McGowan was taking a sick day so she couldn’t give us a Sunshine report, so Greg Rediske subbed for her. Wendy isn’t feeling well. Greg also told us that a former member, Robin Greenleaf, is in hospice so remember her in your thoughts and prayers.
The rest of motley crew getting the meeting off the ground was Becky Wiggins collecting cash at the Foundation desk, Jan Gee passing out winning raffle tickets, and Tiffany Holmon, Tom George, Rick Selden, and James Osundwa setting up all the tech and stuff. Paula Olson subbed for Wendy as the bulletin writer (she’s publishing as well), and Phil Eng subbed for Walt Richardson taking true and accurate pictures of the proceedings.
