President Bob Savage opened the meeting with Janie Noppe leading us in the Flag Salute and was followed by Jim Blackburn, Leroy Fulton, Janie Noppe, Jim Young and Conductor Griff Duncan singing “America, the Beautiful” and “Smile". Griff was elated that we sang on key. Buck Catlin brought us the Thought for the Day by talking about the value of time and that time waits for no one. He sent us to lunch with a prayer, and Mike Oates spared us a joke but did entertain us by playing the piano while we dined. Thanks Mike, on both decisions!

Jim McKamy presented a great overview of what has and what is happening at Fullerton Community College. Originally known as Fullerton Junior College, it was established in 1913. The high school district wanted a college available for 25% of its students to attend. Did you know that the tunnel going under Lemon Street from the high school to the college was originally to get gas and electricity to the college? Did you that at one time there was a railroad track running through the middle the campus?
