We are excited to once again be together at the Alta Club for our new season of Timpanogos Club meetings! The year will begin on Thursday evening, September 23, 2021 with our guest speaker Cecil Samuelson. An MD graduate of the University of Utah Medical College, he served as Dean of the Medical School, and then IHC Hospital President. He was called as a Seventy in 1994, then served as the BYU President for 11 years, then Salt Lake Temple President for 3 years. He is renowned by BYU students who attended BYU basketball games who developed a shout out after a free throw was made, “Whoosh Cecil!” as they pointed en mass at Cec. We look forward to seeing everyone at this first meeting of the 2021-2022 season. We also hope to share a brief greeting and message to the Timpanogos Club from President Russell M. Nelson, who served as our club president in 1977.
