Meeting Notes:Written by Jane Anne Shimizu Guests included Elizabeth Mahoney, past District Governor and The Wheel Chair Representative Eric Friend from Cuernavaca Mexico. Elizabeth expressed the importance of attending a meeting with Clent Walker, Sunup’s past President as the year they were working together as President and District Governor was the year of Covid and in person meetings were not happening. Thought for the day by Jane Anne Shimizu: "Make some plans, check off your bucket list. Go be what you want to be and embrace the riches of the world around you. The only person who can decide how this story ends is you. You are stronger than you will ever know. " Author Amber Zufelt "Chasing Butterflies."
