Jessi shared a video and in-depth information regarding their horse treatment program. Their group services include children, human trafficking mothers, and trauma victims and/or survivors. Their mental health program sets them apart from other horse rescues. Upcoming events include Trick or Treat on Oct 29th and a Christmas program Dec 3rd. Zumasrescueranch.com.
Eric introduced his longtime friend Phil leading them both to Rotary. Phil shared his journey including feeding homeless in college to working with the FBI on tech security. Phil has immersed himself in our Club, joining Bill in Belize for Hope to Walk and participating in the Pediatric Mental Health Committee. His mentor, Tom McHugh, honored Phil with his Blue Badge.
We welcomed Connie's guests Amy and Rance Exline and the return of Bill Leeper's friends Jennie and Pete Grondorf who have submitted their applications to join us. Cary and Jeff Jernigan contacted Elaine via our website. Happily, Reen is back and standing an inch taller, it was wonderful to see her in person again.
Bill shared another Hope to Walk video (link in last week's WS) and reintroduced Shelley Falk who graciously thanked us for our continued support.
