Reporter – Noveita Roe
President Molly Cousins called the meeting to order. Barry Johns gave the invocation, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. John Hanson welcomed our visitors and guest. We had several Interact students visiting and were very glad to have them participate. Lyman Whitehead provided our Health and Happiness, with Carey Hite assisting.
Chris Joye and Harry Hafer provided an update on Harbison State Forest Park project. Special thanks to the Interact Club members who participated!
June 6th is the date of our Summer Social at Pine Island and we will not have a regular meeting that morning. We will meet at Shelter #9 at 6:00 p.m. Please mark your calendar.
Chip Huggins and Nathan Ballentine were our guest speakers. Chip spoke about the Court of Appeals race. He stated the person who wins this race will probably be our Chief Justice. He talked about bills that have been passed in the House to help reduce taxes and have been sent to the Senate. The cigarette tax will help reduce grocery tax. Income tax is being reduced from 7% to 6.8%. The coastal insurance bill will help reduce insurance rates and give tax breaks.
Nathan spoke about a school bill that passed. Students can take a class online if their school does not offer the class. There are a lot of rules and regulations that go along with the bill to be certain the students are actually doing the work. Nathan had concerns that students without laptops have the same capabilities of taking these courses, as those students who do.
Nathan and Chip closed their presentation by taking several questions from members. Chip thanked Johnny Jeffcoat for his services as a Lexington County Councilman. Both Chip and Nathan thanked our club for the hard work and community services we provide.
Larry Stohs announced the birth of his new grandson and donated five Happy Dollars.
With no further business, Molly adjourned the meeting.
