It was Young Women of the Month for the month of March. As is was spring break when we usually have the day to honor the outstanding students it was set up. Bill Byers ably presented the young women and their sponsors. Central High’s young woman was Laura Wilhoit. She was accompanied by her parents and her sponsor Ms Gonzales. Fruita had as their outstanding young woman Katie Lloyd. Her Dad and sister were with her and her sponsor Mr Miller. Grand Junction was honoring Emily Rhodes. She had her parents and her teacher Lorena Thompson with her. Palisade’s Leann Rupe was with her teacher Coleen Collum and her parents. It is always good to have the opportunity to recognize the future of our country. Larry Beckner had a story to tell about Lorena Thompson and the Knowledge Bowl. She heads up that contest and once again we have been asked to send a team. Contact Larry if you would like to go. Mike Moran mentioned that the Membership Drive is in full swing. If you bring a prospective member between now and May first you too can let the club pick up the tab. Just fill out a TISTAFL. That stands for There Is Such A Thing As Free Lunch. If you bring the most new members during the drive you can win a trip to Mesquite for 2 for 2 nights. If you are second you have your choice of 2 tickets to the Cabaret or 2 tickets to a Rockies Game, your choice. If you are the third largest sponsor of new members you get what is left. Be sure to bring along those new prospective members. Guests this week included Laura Clemens brought by Mike Moran, Karen Stealey had her two friends Alli Moore and Magan Monson.
