There was not a guest speaker, however
the membership had several issues to bring to the table. One issue was from
Sister Katherine, who voiced concern about the scholarship funds provided by
the RCCC for students in the healthcare field. She did not want to see this
vital outreach fall by the wayside due to lack of funding, which is by
membership. The attendees agreed the scholarship program was important and
should be continued.
