Happy Dollars:  

Liz Quinn had a HD for our guests from Walter Johnson.  Bob Gradle's HD's were for his granddaughter who at the tender age of 16 has a golf handicap of 9 and one for his most beautiful great grandbaby Ella.  Bill Hague HD for being back with the group again.  Dick Ruprecht HD was for the outstanding students from Walter Johnson (you can tell from his sincere enthusiasm that he really is proud of his interaction with the Key Club at WJ).   Robby Brewer had HD for his son Scott who will soon graduate and has chosen to go to Officer's training and join the U. S. Marines.  Sue Kirk HD was for the key clubber's leadership.  Pat Tiede HD was for a good report from her orthopedic surgeon and better mobility on her left knee. 

Speaker: 

Dick Ruprecht, liaison for the Walter Johnson Key Club proudly introduced Meagan Morse, co-president of Walter Johnson Key Club and winner of the scholarship from Kiwanis.  Meagan will attend Brown University.  She told of the many varied activities that she and Nora Cloherty participated in  - TAG (Threads Across Ghana) a clothing drive, Children's Inn, and Senior Citizen Thanksgiving luncheons just to name a few.  Robby Brewer introduced Jared Joiner from the Lazarus Program.  Jared, a BCC high school graduate is now a a teacher of a charter school in D.C. and he explained the many activities that Lazarus provides for the students.  Kudos to both Dick and Robby who have been doing their liaison work for years with these youth groups.
