Today was the first Wednesday under the leadership of President Bob. Instead of our regular meeting, EHRC hosted a lunch for the seniors at the East Hartford Senior Center.

As the scribe of HG for the month of July, I was going to do a brief overview of the event. But before putting my pen to paper came the following email from President Bob outlining in great detail the event of the day. Thanks Bob.

Today nine East Hartford Rotarians : Johnny Mo, Bob B, Ceil C, Ray M., Alex W., Jack S, Anwar H, George S, Dan F, plus Peggy Schoen gathered at the Senior Center for our annual 4th of July Senior BBQ on July 5. Alex delivered the grill around 10 AM. Boy oh boy was it hot!! 92 degrees Cooking started around 11:30 Johnny Mo and Bob cooked until the heat got to them just before everything was cooked. Alex and Anwar relieved them and finished cooking the last twenty or so Hamburgers.

We cooked 120 hamburgs most with cheese , 60 hot dogs and served 30 pounds of potato salad, 6 gallons of baked beans & bags of potato chips.The Senior Center provided beverages and dessert.

All went well. The seniors enjoyed the meal .Music was provided by the Center.

This is the third time EHRC has done this project and is very much appreciated by the Center and the East Hartford Seniors

Thanks to all whom helped make this annual project a success.

Signing off until next Wednesday, your scribe Anwar Hossain
