President Bob is on vacation. PP Sue filled in for Bob. Fourteen of us were present. Joined by Zoom, were Bob and Wes. We could see Bob but not hear him. My lip reading ability is a little rusty, so I can’t add anything here that Bob might have said.
We faced the flag some distance away outside the room and PP Sue led us with the Pledge. George gave the invocation. Among the many beautiful things he said one was giving thanks for Hope being present today after a long absence. She looked really good. Dan, not so sure!!!! Perhaps tired from doing household chores, while Hope was recovering.
Welcome, Hope. We pray for your full and complete recovery.
SHARING MOMENTS;
- Ruth is going through some medical procedures. We will keep her in our thoughts and prayers.
- Ceil is back safely after a wonderful vacation.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- Next board meeting will be on August 8 at 6:00 pm at the Village in South Windsor in the same room where the card players among us meet.
- Pollinator Garden project will begin the construction phase soon. Our club is considering donating two park benches with ROTARY logo. EHRC has allocated $1,000 for this.
