Volume 78 | Issue 23 / Dec 28, 2022
Three days after Christmas. Santa was back at the North Pole and the eight tiny reindeers were sound asleep after their long journey. But the East Hartford Rotarians were ready for our annual wine and cheese social between the holidays. Fourteen of us gathered in the Community Room at Goodwin for a very nice social and wine and cheese and crackers. Plus we had two guests, Bev Leone and Sandie Buettner. Lunch consisted of the usual fare, salads, pizza and 1/2 grinders (nice assortment of types)
After awhile President Alex got around to ringing that little tinkle bell and started the meeting. Our newest member to be, Maura Callahan was also present. The meeting was relatively short and several announcements were made.
