It's that time folks
Although it's a cooker out there (see the Canadian video) and Walmart hasn't put out the decorations yet, it's Christmas time! Laura, your CCH Chair has a message for you!
 
Planning is underway - if you liked your previous role with CCH, let her know. If you want a new role with CCH, let her know. We know from our budget conversations that we need more help to make this go. If you have folks outside the club that could help, let Laura know.

As we enjoy (or complain) about the first real hot days of summer I thought you might enjoy a few videos to while away your time as you sit inside -

If you want to scoff - here is a Canadian "English" language to talk about hot weather. Luke - be careful its almost 83 degrees up by you.
 
 
 
Or Southerners trying to get into their car 
 
 
Here is Robin Williams's take on it - 
 
 
Fortunately it looks like it's back down in the 80s by Saturday - or a Canadian heat wave. In the meantime enjoy Martha and the Vandellas -
