We are very fortunate to have Arthur bring his expertise to our club.Please listen to this very inspiring presentation by Arthur on the topic. “Cancer treatment using you own immune cells”.

Joke / Quote of the day:
A shopkeeper was dismayed when a similar store opened next door with a huge sign that said, BEST DEALS!”
To make things worse, another similar store opened on the other side with a huge sign reading “LOWEST PRICES!”
He nearly panicked until he had the idea to put up his own sign, bigger that the other two, that read, “MAIN ENTRANCE.”
