2024 JUNE MEETING & LUNCHEON
Our last luncheon for the 2023-24 year closed out the year. We had 72 members in attendance. The buffet lunch was wonderful as always with a couple of new items (pulled pork & mac n cheese). After lunch we concluded the business meeting, had the 50/50 Raffle drawing followed by our program.
We welcomed Gayle Haas. For this program, Gayle became Corrie Ten Boom. Dressed in WWII attire, Gayle told the story of Corrie - a young girl growing up in Holland during WWII. Added by a slide presentation, Corrie told of how she and her family aided Jewish families and individuals in "disappearing" from the German army--there was a hidden space behind her wardrobe. She and her family were eventually discovered and sent to "the camps". Corrie's presentation was detailed and informative. Due to a clerical error, Corrie survived the camp and eventually came the America. Corrie has authored many books--of which "The Hiding Place" was turned into a movie by the same name.
