Program:  Tommy Hobbs introduced  Dr. David Eggert, Orthopedic Surgeon and his nurse Sharon Lyons.  They proceeded to give a most interesting and informative program on shoulder pain.  Complete with power point illustrations of the most complex joint of the body.  Anatomic explanations  and various treatment modalities were explained also.

                Dr. Eggert emphasized the importance of relationships in his work with patients, communities, schools, etc.  His first patient seen in Ripon was our own Dr. LeRoy Yeomans, who had treated him  when a student at Ripon College.        Thanks, Tommy, for this excellent program. 

Next Week:   Greeter & Prayer – John Rohde

                      Program – Pru Precourt – Pru presents Dr. Patricia Sias of R. M. C. 

Thought for today:

                God—I am often quick to see the faults of others.  Now help me see my own just as clearly and teach me how to correct those faults.  Amen. 

                The darkest hour is just before you are overdrawn.
