Surprise Speaker:
 
Tuesday; the speakers surprised the whole club, none more than club member John Dooling.  I loved watching his face as one family member after another came to the early meeting.   I think he realized something was up when his beautiful wife Cindy made her appearance.
 
 His kids the oldest son George, son Gabe and daughter Katie along with Kathy who is a daughter to them.  They showed up to share how there dad gives of his time and heart always.
 
Each one talked about how their dad has been there for them and was instrumental in molding them into the adults they are today.  John always had time and energy for what ever they needed.  Kathy said an example, her car has been stolen twice in the last two years and he leant her their spare car both times and is always there when  she needs him.  They expressed how proud they are , that he is the Man of the Year 2014-2015.   They talked about what it meant to them and how he showed up for every game and activity that they have been involved in and still does for the grandkids.
 
He has donated  so much to the community, helping to build the church they attended when they first came here.  He was a Board member at MHC for a number of years.  
 
So typical of John when he got the mic he immediately started talking about what a wonderful woman he is married to and how amazing his wife is.
 
Thank you John for letting us play “This is your Life
