Wednesday, July 4, NO MEETING. We decided that we<br />
would not have a talk on July 4, and so we will only have<br />
three talks in July.<br />

and board member of the Lifelong Learning Center, will<br />
present “A Cultural Look on the War of Terror.” Ken worked<br />
for the State Department for over 40 years in over 70 countries.<br />

was on overseas intelligence gathering.<br />

on May 24 at the<br />
South Point Hotel<br />

huge success with<br />
over 100 members<br />
attending. Several<br />
members won at the<br />
bingo session prior to<br />
the lunch, adding to the excitement of the day.<br />

May 23: We hosted Siena in our second annual Ryder Cup<br />
Match. Co-Chair Gary Duffel and Bob Johnson did a fantastic<br />
job of organization and coordination. In spirited competition,<br />
Siena prevailed 241/2 to 231/2 to retain the cup. We<br />
have a fair and objective way to select our team. Remember,<br />

event has a bright, competitive future.<br />
