Corporal Terry, the Hernando County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer (HSCO PIO) discussed several of their local support programs, notably their Care Line 352-797-3660 comforting those living alone with wellness checks.  The audience was very impressed with Sergeant Keiper's K-9, Riley, demonstrating detection of electronic devices, e.g., in support of child endangerment and other investigations.
We also dedicated a gorgeous custom speaker's podium built by Dick Rowland and Joe Christie, that was accepted by G for use by any and all organizations at the GlenLakes Clubhouse.  Its beautiful carved GLV&FA logo is easily replaceable by a carved GlenLakes logo as needed.
