Bruce said men and women look at money differently. Men usually look at money and start to calculate how much time/effort went into earing it while women usually think of money and start to calculate what that amount would buy in terms of their wants and needs. He also quoted Thoreau who said, "The cost of a thing is the amount of your life you exchange for it."

Pam Nicholls introduced our speaker of the day it was Reeves Brown from Club 20. He told of the purpose and history of Club 20. He said it is not a singles club but rather a club to promote the interests of the 20 western slope counties and Lake and Jackson Counties. Club 20 has been successful in the past 50 years of getting more money for roads in Western Colorado. They also are working to conserve the needs of the west side of the state regarding water. There is diversity among the needs and attitudes of the Western Slope but the club is working to meet the needs of all of us.
