# 180 Newport, NC

President Marilyn excepts the 200/200 Cerificate for the club 

2nd time in 1 day Speaker Bill (right) talked to
Beaufort and Newport on property assessments.

I like how this evening club does its meal; each week a different member is in charge of purchasing ingredients (or take out) and preparing the meal, while others do set up and/or clean up, this is done on a rotating schedule. President Marilyn Everett was in charge this evening and we were treated to homemade sweet and sour chicken, rice, sautéed garlic green beans and cake.  The club owns the building where they meet and it was festive with Club banners hanging as a border around the room, they have more banners to hang I was informed.

The speaker Carl; spoke at the Beaufort club earlier so Nancy and I were familiar with his talk on the property reassessment values in Carteret County.  It was very informative and I found the information very interesting, the values of properties has dropped significantly since the housing bubble burst in 2008.

This club is the home cub of Pam and PDG Bevin Wall who organize and manage RLI in our zone.  As an RLI faculty member, I enjoy seeing this gregarious couple.  Marilyn also was in charge of the district conference two weeks ago, her husband James is the PE and will be heading to PETS this weekend.
