Matt Hall | Oktoberfest update
Matt Hall was a stand in for Jacob and did an excellent job. Especially since he was in charge of the speaker and she didn’t come. Happens to all of us and he handled it with grace. I do believe he’ll do an excellent job next year and its good he’s getting some on the job training.
We passed around sigh up sheets for “Celebrate Sound” to first find out if you were going to participate and what size t-shirt you wanted. We’re only asking for $25.00 (tax deductible) and the money goes to our hearing aid loaner program. If you were not there last week plan to sign up this week. The walk this year will be at Concord Park on September 9th.
We discussed the Knoxville Oktoberfest Fundraiser which is not that far away. September is just a week away. Carol Mohney and I went shopping for some brown bag items over the weekend but not enough to fill all the brown bags. We also need auction items. Remember we didn’t want to constantly be having “fund” raisers and determined to have the one and let that be it – this is it! We have several beer sponsors so regardless we can get drunk!
Next Week (maybe) our speaker will be Lisa Nichols who came up with the program Stocking from US. This is a great idea and really makes you feel good especially when you see newsfeeds of soldiers that won’t be coming home. We contributed to this so come hear what she has to say and give yourself a pat on the back.
Just a reminder: Speaker chairs for September are as follows:
09/5 Rusty Farrell
9/12 Mike McKinney
9/19 Terrell Kerr
