September 13, 2023 SICK DESK UPDATES

Our Sgt-at-Arms, and former President, Mike Lanning, underwent his first chemo treatment last Wednesday and we're happy to report that Mike said he has not experienced any ill side effects. He is still undergoing another session this week to prevent any further spread.

Our Editor, Frank Crisa, was to undergo another cardiac procedure to correct his A-Fib last Friday, but through the keen observationof one of his doctors, further surgical procedure was avoided and a little adjustment of his pacemaker and meds seems to have done the trick. Frank said he is feelling better and is continuing the completion of our next issue.

We are not sure if it can be traced back to the membership meeting because if the timing, but both our Recording Secretary Bob Forrester and myself, Treasurer Tony Lomanto both came down with symptoms, and tested positive at a walk-in clinic, with COVID. We both started with a throat irritation, then a possible slight fever, and feeling the chills. My partner, Emily, also came down with COVID and most likely caught it from me.

We hope no one else has suffered with this and we continue to hope and pray, not only for the four of us above, but for all our fellow members, friends, and fellow retirees, that they all will continue in good health.

If you or anyone you know who was at the meeting started showing any COVID symptoms in the days past the meeting, please contact us.

September 7, 2023 PRAYERS REQUEST FOR FRANK CRISA and MIKE LANNING

Our Editor, Frank Crisa, is scheduled to receive a cardiac procedure on Friday, September 8th to regulate his heartbeat. He currently has a pacemaker but a recent adjustment didn't work out as was expected.

Former President and current Sgt-at-Arms Mike Lanning has started chemo therapy as a precaution since his recent kidney removal due to cancer. Mike is disappointed that during his therapy, he is unable to attend meetings as a precaution for his health.

We ask our members to keep Frank and Mike in their prayers that they may successsfully overcome their health issues.
