Well the weatherman predicted a terrible day today. Snow, Rain, Wind. In consideration of this, Alex wisely cancelled the In Person meeting in favor of an all zoom meeting.  Naturally there was no snow, rain or wind!. 17 members and guests met via zoom and solved the world's problems before the meeting actually started at noon. If you were there you saw some sort of  bird flying over Marc's head. I think it was looking for a landing spot. Go EAGLES!

 

Alex rang the bell at noon, We recited  the pledge, Stumbled through the 4 Way Test. Then Alex gave a fitting invocation.

 

Rob Rodner, PP of the Manchester Rotary Club, was our guest speaker. His subject was on R.I.M. Rotary in Motion. This event which is now going into it's 5th year is a "Non fund raising event for the good of the community." It is an offshoot of Bike Connect. An event held for over 10 years. RIM encompasses all : bikers, walkers, equestrians, disabled and impaired individuals. This years event will be on Sept, 30. (rain date Oct.7) There is no cost to EHRC to be one of the 3 sponsors along with Manchester and Rockville Rotary Clubs. Rob's talk was recorded for those that would like to hear the whole thing. Briefly. the event starts at Charter Oak park in Manchester. It has an 18 mile and 30 mile loop through the 3 towns . At the park there is a walking tour, a children's bike event and a horseback event along with the LUTZ CHILDREN's MUSEUM having an event with animals.
