August Program
Laughter is the Best Medicine
|
|
August is just about over, the temperatures are still soaring and we are about ready to start the fall race into the 2016 holiday season. Whew … are we ready ladies? Well our August speaker is just the medicine (tranquilizer) we need to get ready for the race.
 Meet Marian Odell, a lady after our own hearts. She is a great grandmother who wears pretty clothes, knows how to model them, had a long and satisfying career in business, been married for 32 years, has held national positions with the American Legion Auxiliary, can teach you all about American flag etiquette, knows how to belt out a song, and has taught ballroom dancing to boot! Her talks have a reputation for being humorous and inspirational.
So grab your salad plate and tea, sit back and relax and let Marian show us how to “Have A Blast While You Lastâ€.
P.S. You can’t help but like someone who says she loves John Wayne!
