Marc Glass was presented a pin to recognize his Paul Harris Plus Seven status. Great job, Mark.

Sgt. At Arms Jim Watts reported a good day highlighted by Bob and Sandie Buettner’s 55th year wedding anniversary. Sandie has an express lane to heaven. The report was also highlighted by Frank Collins logging 49 years in Rotary. Many of us assumed he was at the table in Chicago when Rotary was founded. And with what turned into a highlight, Jack Sayre got up to brag on his granddaughter who, according to Jack, has an hour-long comedy special on Amazon Prime called “My mother’s human and so am I.” Check out Alice Wetterlenz. (Okay, I did check it out. No Alice, no mother on Amazon Prime. Maybe Jack is experiencing a little premature adulation?)   Sue Klock informed us that Peter came through cataract surgery in fine fashion. So anyone could see clearly that that was good news.

Laura Floyd won the raffle and Dan Firestone took home the flowers this week.

No speaker, early ringing of the bell…

One week to go…
