Presiding Officer - Terri Grassi

Flag Salute - Micahel La

Music Director - Howard Wood led us in “Hail to the Chief” and “Smile.”

Thought for the Day - Because of President’s Day, Reverend Jon West gave an interesting presentation about Abraham Lincoln and his greatest speech. Lincoln quoted the Bible 4 times in his inaugural speech. In his second inaugural speech Lincoln pondered about the pain and suffering of the Civil War. Jon read the last paragraph of his second inaugural speech where Lincoln was trying to do what he could to heal the nation.
