12:15 President Bob began the meeting leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance.  Bob also delivered the invocation. It was great to have our Assistant Governor, Randi Saboski, and Diane Willett join us today.

 

We had a few minutes before the arrival of today’s speaker to hear updates on the online raffle – There will be a meeting of the committee this evening, and Bob assures us that Wes Willett will help individual members who request assistance entering their information online.

 

President Bob reminded us that we have received 20,000 masks which will be distributed to the East Hartford Fire Department and EMTs, the East Hartford Police Department, East Hartford Board of Education, Intercommunity Health in East Hartford, and Riverside Health.  Date and time of distribution are to be determined, but Bob would very much like additional club members to join him and DG Marc at that time.

We had a general discussion of availability of Covid-19 vaccines.
