We are beginning to re-gather in person with covid protections but many still have a personal reasons for coming to the meetings on Zoom. This week we had 13 in person and about 7 on Zoom.
Next and so joyous is the that two new members were inducted into the club by Assistan Govenor and Glen Ellyn member Paul J. Keenon. Kevin and Lyndi Bowers have joined in a shared membership with Lyndi as the primary member and Kevin, who will b e just as much a part of the club, as the other member in the group. Let's call it the "Bowers" group! Please congratulate them as you see them or with a an e-mail. Kevin is a Research Director at TSIA and Lyndi is a Portfolio Marketing Manager. They have 6 children ranging in age from 20 to 1 years old. Our President Erika Krehbiel is their sponsor.
Another important happening is that Peter Zeuthen has received yet another "Paul Harris Fellow" award. This is Peters 5th Paul Harris Fellow award. Congratulations Peter.
Virtually, Governor Lyle Staab came to visit though Zoom/hybrid. He was joined by Assistant Governor Sam Johnson and 7 in person and 16 virtual club members.

Ten of our members made our routine clean up of Park Boulevard in Glen Ellyn. It was remarkably clean.. Possibly due to Covid 19. No classes at College of DuPage, No classes at Glenbard South and No church services at St James the Apostle Catholic Church....So a clean area but we had some minor pick up and a great deal of personal contact and good conversations in person. It was refreshing to be with good friends...
In the first photo you will see a big orange thing, It's not a carrot, that is our own Ed Scheer social distancing and wearing a mask...PJ
