The evening's first speaker kept the club members on the edges of their seats as she delivered an entertaining presentation called "Free Falling".  No, Ashley Lawrence did not speak about going to a Tom Petty concert, but rather about how first time jumping out of an airplane recently.  Her jump was from a height of 12,000 feet!  Following her presentation, Ashley showed the club a short video recording of her jump as well.

Our second prepared speaker, Brenda Masters-Stout, CPA, gave an informative address about "Audits".  Brenda spoke about the importace of business audits and organizational audits rather than tax audits, which is what comes to mind when most of us hear the word 'audit'.

Song Lyrics:
PRAYIN’ FOR AMY
When will they get their erections? / I pray for Amy! / You’ll never get what you deserve, / boy and girl! / The industry will kill you. It’s the nightmare. /
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbskME1v6uI

They don’t care about feelings. / Why do you dare?
I’m like you a musician and life sometimes is hell. / I know to pay attention, know dimensions. / Music is great and poetry too. / There’s nothin’ wrong, you should kick out / their taboos.
I pray for Amy, she was a good child. / She was innocent and had the young light. / They simply stole it, cracked her head. / Don’t matter what they said – it never worked.
I pray for Amy and I do know: / She just wanted, / wanted to find her way back home.
