New Member Induction

Judy Lee Gardinar visited with us this week to handle the induction of our new member: Frank Ha.

Frank is an educational consultant working with many students to encourage them to work hard and to succeed. Frank's sponsor, Ken Marsh, has already gotten Frank involved in becoming a mentor at Lee High School working with at-risk students there to help them succeed.

Frank is very outgoing and personable...so he will be an excellent addition to the club's membership.
