It was a cold, sunny day as we gathered at the Ridge this week. Luckily the heat had been fixed a couple weeks ago, so the inside was toasty warm. The bell was rung promptly at 12:15 p.m. and we all sang the Rotary song, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Larry Hangland gave the invocation and we all proceeded to choose our boxed lunch. There was Ham, Turkey, Veggie and Combo subs available along with chips and a 3 lb. hockey puck, um, I mean fudge brownie. Someone brought a cookie assortment, which Ned Lynch passed around, so desert was saved.
President Bob started the meeting at 12:40 with a list of announcements.
EHRC collected $256 for Polio+ last week
We are looking for volunteers to do secret Santa shopping for the holidays. Signups were passed around.
Bell Ringing signups have been going around, and the last open spot was filled during the announcement.
Foundation Dinner is (was) Nov 7. EHRC had 2 tables and our own Jim Watts was honored along with the EH club itself.
