Opti-B-Bull 4-21-11

This weeks meeting was moved to an evening event for members, spouses, and guests starting at 6:30 P.M.


Prior to the start, a silent auction was held with proceeds going to our administration account. This was organized by our members Joan Andersen Wells and Susan Nordstrom. Thanks to these two ladies the evening was a enormous success and a great time was had by all who attended. It would be my hope our club would have more of this type meeting to invite additional guests which could lead to prospective new members.


Our meeting started with the ring of the bell, flag salute, and invocation at 7 P.M. during that time we were served dinner. Wally challenged us with “this day in history” which was the beginning of Tiananmen Square in China in 1989. We also heard a tragic story about the death of a prize parrot who died from eating rotten horse meat. The meeting was held at the Peppermill Restaurant (our usual meeting room) after announcements and introduction of our visiting Lt. Governor Monty Akers, our evening speaker Margaret Armstrong was introduced by Joan Andersen Wells.

Margaret Armstrong volunteers at Tualatin Hills Nature Park and oversees the native plant sales held twice a year. Margaret showed and explained several native plants to our area and how to grow them in your gardens. Thank you Margaret for very informative talk you can join us anytime as a speaker or a member.


If you missed this meeting, go to our web site for some pictures of the evening. (I'm sorry Monty I guess you got left out.) Great meeting, Great Food, and Great Time. Our meeting next week 4-28-11 will start at 7:00a.m. and feature Randy Kinnison from the Homebuilders Assoc. as our speaker. Until then!

Happy Easter Everyone!
