Program:

Dr. Penny Seth-Smith - a Naturopathic Family Physician - gave a detailed presentation on naturopathic medicine; its history, how it fits with traditional medicine and treatment philosophy (i.e., emphasis on prevention and promotion of health).  Her presentation was followed by a lively Q&A session.

Sergeant at Arms:

Tara tried the ‘happy’ approach to collecting fines (voluntary) without much success!  So she reverted to the traditional fine approach and got a few bucks in the pig.  Some happy dollars were also contributed - the Leng’s for good trip to the UK and New England and Carolyn for a good vacation in Hawaii.

50/50 Draw:

Hermman got the nod, but did not pull the blue marble.  More money for another week.

Duty Roster for May 27th:

Door Duty:  John Leng

Greeter/Note Taker:  Jack Macaulay
