Happy Bucks:  Jody Nolte was happy on the occasion of her son’s 12th birthday.  Keith Sutherland was happily anticipating a visit to the Tiger Preserve in India in the coming weeks. Trudy Sunderman was happy to see son Ryan speaking at the meeting.  Charlene Boardman was just happy to have a great day, and husband Dick was happy to be going home (I think).   Ron Sunderman had a long story about his son, leading to his medical career and his visit to the club today. Keith Sutherland had a buck to second the motion. 

Next week’s program:    

Speaker:   Dr. Ryan Sunderman explained the origins of the specialty of Emergency Medicine, and how he came to embrace it.  He illuminated some of the aspects of running a busy emergency room, and the benefits of being in that organization.
