The Greeters today were Stephanie Tuin and Tom Sheldon. The Song of the day was My Wild Irish Rose. Tom Sheldon brought the thought for the day as well as News, Weather and Sports. Jim Moore won the five bucks for saying the defining statement.

This week Dennis Durmas is celebrating a birthday. He declined to say which one.

The program was Young Women of the Month. Kristi Adams did a great job introducing the students and their teachers. Palisade High was represented by Breanna Ehlers. She had her parents Scott and Luann Ehlers with her as well as her teacher Dave Carlo. Central High’s Deidra Cook was the student of the month. She came with her parents Duane and Kim Cook and her teacher Melanie Morris. Grand Junction High sent us Kristin Scandary. She had her parents Robert and Teresa with her as well as teacher, Bud Glover. Finally Fruita selected Katy Whistler as their young woman of the month. She was introduced by her mother, Patrice Whistler, because the teacher Brian Palmer could not attend.

Congratulations to all these fine young women.
