Busy day today. Attendance on the low side with about 15 Rotarians in attendance. But that did not inhibit a lively meeting full of good discussion during the Club Assembly portion of the meeting.
President Sue rang the bell and led the pledge of allegiance. Ceil Collins was our Invocation speaker with an interesting homily. Sue followed with a brief emphasis on the Four Way Test. With that we moved into the meeting proper.
Foremost on everyone’s mind was the recent passing of Bob Wood. Bob joined the East Hartford Rotary Club in 1985, sponsored by the late Jack Davis. Over the years, Bob was active in many Rotary activities, serving as Club President, awarded a Paul Harris Fellow, writing High Gear, working on the Scholarship Committee, serving on the Board, you name it, and Bob was right there to offer service above self.At Sue’s urging, various Club Members shared memories of Bob during the meeting. Bob’s funeral service will be on Saturday (July 31st) at 10 am at South Congregational Church of East Hartford. Bob's family will receive relatives and friends on Friday (July 30th) from 4-6 pm at the D'Esopo East Hartford Memorial Chapel, 30 Carter Street, East Hartford. Full details and his obituary can be found on our club website. Cards can be sent to Debbie at 900 Hemlock Avenue, Apt 335, South Windsor, CT 06074
