		Welcome
	
	
		The Catawbans is a senior men's organization serving the Catawba and Lincoln County areas of Lake Norman.  Our purpose is to provide an organization that allows for networking among retired and semi-retired men with similar interests and circumstances; provide an opportunity for men new to the region to make acquaintances and become assimilated into the area through activities of common interest; to share experiences with people you enjoy spending time with in activities you enjoy; to share expertise with others; to find and pursue new interests and hobbies.
	
	
		Thanks to Sherrills Ford Terrell Fire and Rescue for the demonstration of AED devices and the LUCAS mechanical chest compression device.  This was a great opportunity to learn about these great tools which may enable you to save a life. See picture below.
 
		
 
		We had the pig pickin BBQ on Friday, September 26th. There were 116 participants in
 
		this event. The rain stayed away, so the party was under the pavilion. It appeared that
 
		fun was had by all!
 
		
 
		We still need a couple of men to step up and help lead Interest Groups.  Please let any Board member know if you are interested.
