They also visited Arlington National Cemetery
Don Muff presented Al Wagner a plaque for being honored as the recipient of the club’s Distinguished Service Award for this past year. Al has served as the coordinator for the “kitchen and refreshment preparation” for our weekly meetings for a number of years. Additionally, Al has been a dedicated member of the club by participating in many of our service activities, fund-raisers, and always giving a helping hand whenever asked. Congratulations, Al.
Muff has set up the 2013-2014 committees a list of committees to all committee chairs. There are still openings for additional members to serve on several of our committees. Muff also indicated that the board approved a new “A/V committee” whose purpose will be to help with A/V equipment set and operation each week.
