(Our speaker, Chuck Nelson, listens patiently and thoughtfully to a comment from a member.)There were 18 members and 4 guests in attendance: Guests included Linda and Dave Grahek and their granddaughter and Sharon Fisher of the Aspirus Keweenaw Fitness and Occupational Therapy Center.
President Jim opened the meeting with a very preliminary report on the Tamburitzans fund-raising program and, though the accounting was not complete, pronounced it a success. By next week we should have a full report. Chairman Dan thanked all members their efforts not only in selling tickets and distributing advertising but for housing the entire troupe.
After a round of happy dollars (with one exceptionally large one in honor of Tom Scanlan's new grandchild) the floor was turned over to Member Chuck Nelson, CEO of Aspirus Keweenaw Hospital. Without fanfare, Chuck conducted a modified "Town Meeting" such as has become popular around the various congressional districts about the national health care proposals pending before Congress. Needless to say, the discussion though short was spirited. From your blogger's point of view, there will be many modifications proposed and discussed before a final product, if any, is voted upon. One can say with absolute assurance that before it is over it will stir up emotions.
(Tom Scanlan adding a salient point to the discussion.)
