Part of that celebration was a speech made by our Club Red President, Aleem Ahmed. Aleem recounted his story of administering CPR to an unconscious woman at the Altanta airport. Mayor Ham was so impressed with Aleem that he asked him to tell his story to the Auburn City Council. Aleem's story was well-received by the council and all citizens present. At the conclusion of his speech, Aleem received a standing ovation.
