guests gathered for our first meeting of the new year. Nine of the guests were prospective members
whose papers are well on the way to completion. Jean Hartman was installed as our newest
member. A New project for our
soldiers was introduced by a very cute doggie bank. The money collected in
the bank will go towards a program called Baghdad Pups-No Dog Left Behind.
Dogs which befriended American soldiers in Iraq will be brought home to the
U.S.A. with money donated to this program. A performance of music on
Native American flutes was presented by Circle of Flutes member Laura Covel Clark. She
explained and demonstrated the beautiful wooden flutes. Everyone enjoyed the lovely music. February will be a very
busy month for Philip Perry members with the Regents’ Council’s annual

meeting reminded members of two of the areas on which we focus—Conservation
and appreciation for the Native American culture. A brief
Conservation report made members aware of disposable biodegradable table
ware, “Tator Ware”, made from potatoes which are being used in some
restaurants. Pictures of five state flags which include depictions of
Native American culture were displayed on the luncheon tables. Our speaker for this
meeting was Retired Colonel Frank Holder. His career included
twenty-six years in the Marine Corps and fifteen years as a Federal
Judge. His interest in and avid reading of American History was
