Hello Everyone,

Our speakers tomorrow are Lynne Harris, owner of Zia Tech, and Justin Tornatore, who does cybersecurity for Zia Tech.  Security should be at the top of everyone’s concerns these days, every time we turn around there are security breaches and  information has been stolen.

Also, Nikki Taylor will give an update on the Kathy Lincoln Cancer Style Show Luncheon.

Terri Lee has been approved for Kiwanis membership and will be inducted at tomorrow’s meeting.

Thank you to our speaker last week, Anne Hillerman.  She is a best-selling author and the daughter of novelist Tony Hillerman.  She has continued her father’s series of Joe Leaphorn-Jim Chee novels following his death. Her 9th book in this series is Lost Birds. What a wonderful meeting and a great crowd!

Thank you to our wonderful guests that came last week!

Thank you to Fran for all the hard work on the Social and Summer as well and for hosting!  Thank you to everyone that donated money, gift cards, food, and plays the card game weekly.  It was so nice to get together and enjoy each other’s company.
