Show Low Raffle
The club was excited to see the return of the Show Low Raffle!  Beginning with a pot of $250, the first ticket drawn was owned by Bil Trodlier.  He did not draw the winning 2 of clubs so he did not win the pot today. However he did win his choice of wines offered and chose the red.  We were glad to see Joe Montagna today on zoom and his ticket was drawn next!  Joe, we will hold your wine at the club meeting room until you are able to pick it up.

Zoomies
Someone in our group coined the phrase “zoomies” – club members who have become quite proficient with attending and conducting meetings on this virtual meeting platform during the coronavirus pandemic. 
 
Zoom Meetings
Secretary Mary congratulated all club members for meeting virtually and remaining very active and involved with our club during this long period of social distancing!
