Just when Kellie thought her term as President was over, my child's arrival threw a wrench into my plans to lead our July lunch meeting. As a result, Kellie had to step up and handle things one last time. Although attending our swearing-in ceremony via Zoom wasn’t ideal, I was thrilled to hear about [...]

Folks, We have reached the point of the year when a furry little guy named Phil leaves his luxurious burrow in the Punxsutawney library to greet visitors and share his knowledge of future weather events. If only we could use rodents to predict other facets of our lives, like how much longer a building’s [...]
