Laura Hicks, Leader, called the meeting to order.
Pam led us in singing “Onward TOPS & KOPS.”

Marilyn had the program today, she spoke on “Choosing to Change 1 sip at a time.” She said every living thing needs water to survive, trees, flowers, birds, animals and humans. Without water your body can’t work properly. Marilyn handed out a bottle of water to each member and asked us to take a sip each time she said the word water. She then gave us some interesting facts about water. Thank you, Marilyn, for an interesting program and for the WATER!
