Lake Murray-Irmo Meeting Minutes for February 9, 2011

President Judy Johnson called the meeting to order and the invocation and Pledge of Allegiance followed. 

Darren Bouknight welcomed all visitors and Lyman Whitehead gave a robust Health and Happiness followed by Happy Dollars.

Bill Danielson reported that the Carraba’s fundraiser had netted between $2,300 and $2,400.  This was a great fundraiser and a really good time for all who were able to attend.  It was also great to have support from a local business.

Dr. Cary Hite introduced our speaker, Whit Merrifield.  Whit was a member of the National Championship Baseball Team at the University of South Carolina.  Whit is now a member of the Kansas City Royals organization.

Whit talked about what it was like to play throughout the Regionals, Super Regionals, and the College World Series.  He gave great insight about the year and his teammates.  What was probably the most interesting story was when Whit talked about getting the game winning hit against UCLA in the national championship game.

After members’ questions were asked and answered, President Judy adjourned the meeting.
