Board Meetings 3rd Friday of the Month 9:30 AM November Meeting: 11/18 Turkey Creek Golf Club 1525 Highway 193 Lincoln, CA Officers President: Beth Roberts Vice President: Lou Hill President-Elec: Mary Luciano Secretary: Judy Gho Treasurer: Bec Cannistraci Directors Rae Cook John Gho John Moran Mary Taverna Edy Ternullo Karen Thompson What a great month we ve had... Message From The President Before I mention all the amazing service we provided to our community I have to say that I thought the Installation Dinner was incredible. Special thanks go to Edy Ternullo and Lou Hill for planning this wonderful event. In addition to almost all of our members attending, Division 44 was represented by Lt. Governor Laird Smith and First Lady Shari Smith, Past Lt. Governor Guy Blair and his wife Gloria, Past Lt. Governor Kathleen Ross and her husband Howard, and Division 7 Past Lt. Governor John Bummer. We had just the right amount of time to socialize before dinner, followed by a great meal and then the ceremony. Following all the official stuff, we danced the night away O.K. only till about 8:30, but that s not bad for us. I partially judge a party by how sore my feet are the next morning, and my feet were incredibly sore. In addition, October will also be remembered as the month of our first Safety Awareness Day. Words almost can t express how successful the day was. The Teachers and Principal Shamryn Coyle, were amazed at how much the kids learned and how much fun they had. Western Placer Unified School District Superintendent of Schools, Scott Leeman and City of Lincoln Mayor, The Honorable Spencer Short, joined us at the event. This almost certainly will become an annual event and I would be shocked if other schools don t request it. Special thanks go to Chairperson Christine Cirrone, and her Committee: Don Moura, John Moran, Dottie Doctor and Mary Luciano. I m looking forward to the coming fiscal year. I m certain we can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children while we have fun together. Beth Roberts KCOLF News Editor Mary Luciano
