CLUB PRESIDENT RAY BATTEE

The new club president is getting off to a great start. The Bisbee Club is in good hands. My message to all the members is, "Let's give Ray all the support we can. His job's not going to be easy and he can use a few shoulders to lean on."

BISBEE PARKS AND RECREATION

Caroline Gonzales from the City of Bisbee presented a great program this morning at our weekly breakfast meeting. She presented two films about the City's GET ACTIVE! KID'S PROGRAM, a wonderful program for local kids provided by the City of Bisbee Parks and Recreation. This is a truly wonderful program that affords children an opportunity to interact with their environment in fun and educational ways. Kudos to the City of Bisbee.
