Ryan Osborne opened the
meeting and led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance, then turned
the gavel over to Club President Mark Bayless.
Club News:
Tonight we inducted
three new members: Patrick Frazier, Kristen Rice, and Adam Zheng.
Congratulations and welcome to our new members!
We are quickly
approaching the end of term for our current club officers. Consider
volunteering to serve as a club officer next term! The club will be
nominating candidates in May and will announce the slate of new
officers at the first meeting in June. Read more about the officer

Forest Hills United
Methodist Church generously allows us to meet regularly in a church
classroom, but our regular classroom will be occupied on June 24 due
to Vacation Bible School, so we will be meeting in a different room
at FHUMC. Look for the signs with specific directions on the night
of the meeting.
