Guests were Nancy Leahy and K. Guelfi from the Yakima Hearing and Speech clinic. They came to our meeting to accept a check for $3300 (half from our club and half from the Kiwanis Trust) to purchase new equipment for testing the hearing of babies and the new equipment will replace 20 year old equipment.
