Noon Meeting Notes & Announcements:
Happy Tuesday, friends. It is a cool day today as we look ahead to some very hot temperatures here later this week. Hopefully, everyone is enjoying the end of spring and the roll into summer with the solstice on Friday. It will be the longest day of the year, so if you plan to sit out on the patio to grill or hang out at a happy hour, bring sunscreen and a hat! We're supposed to see 100 degrees, they're saying!
Thanks to Terre Cone for taking notes for me last week. Here are the notes that she sent this morning. Terre, I appreciate your help.

This week we had a visit from Dr. Michelle Leuck with the Children's Hospital Mental Health Research team. She humbly refers to herself as "Michelle."
She has a son who has struggled with his mental health for years and understands the rigors of the daily routine of caring for a child with Mental illness issues.
Our District Governor Elect, Cindy Chase, bestowed Polio Plus Foundation pins and certificates to several of our members. Cindy's father is a Polio survivor. I was so proud to support Polio Plus as my grandmother was a survivor as well. If you donate only $100 each year, you will be recognized as a supporter.
Tamie, Shrin, and Debby were congratulated by Dr. Leuck for their dedication to supporting a Mental Health Fellow in perpetuity through our Colorado Pediatric Mental Health Endowment.
