Can you imagine. 54 degrees January 18, 2023. Spring is coming. ! DON"T BELIEVE IT!!
The OWL has arrived. It even hoots when turned on. Alex had it up and running when we walked in at 11:45. Worked well , There were 6 zoomers and 16 members and 1 guest for this historic meeting of the EAST HARTFORD ROTARY.
This meeting was our Club Assembly. We had a quorum. Alex started the meeting with the song, the pledge, the four way test and Marc gave a fitting invocation for our incoming new member, Maura Callahan. We then broke for a quick lunch of pasta, chicken, salad, pizza and dessert, arranged from Roma's thanks to Guy.
