Clark Osterhout reported that fraud was found in the Club Foundation account. It was quickly resolved and a new credit card is being issued.

Guest Speaker, Marissa Bashore, is the Health Education Supervisor for the Office of Community Outreach and Engagement. She spoke on lung cancer prevention and screening, and the current progress in diagnosing and treatment. Lung cancer screening should be done yearly. In Placer County over the last 20 years the number of new cases of lung cancer and the deaths attributed to it, are showing significant declines. She discussed the causes with smoking still being the main reason. Other causes include secondhand smoke, air pollution, radon, arsenic from well water, and asbestos. Lastly, she identified that those ages 50-80, current smokers or those who quit smoking 15 years ago or less, should be screened routinely once a year.
