The first meeting of in-coming President Sue Klock’s administration began with the usual 15 minutes of casual conversation while our group took its time to assemble. Your scribe signed on just as Sue rang the bell, so the content of the casual banter is a mystery.
Past President Bob Buettner led us in the Pledge and Laura Floyd offered a thoughtful invocation. President Sue prefaced a recitation of the Four Way Test with a loose quote from Mahatma Gandhi, “Keeping things we think, say or do in harmony is the way to happiness.” Sue reminded us that when we recite the Four-Way Test, we begin with “Of the things we think say or do.” A nicely drawn connection.
Under Caring Moments, George reported that Bob Wood had a fall and was in the hospital with minor injuries. Later in the meeting we learned he will be returning home on Thursday. Also mentioned was that Charlotte Bradbury is doing “pretty good” at home.
Following that, President Sue mentioned the importance of the Rotary Foundation and the good it accomplishes in the world.
She read a quote from Paulo Costa, Past President of Rotary International, 1990-1991.
"Rotary International's masterpiece is The Rotary Foundation. It transforms our dreams into splendid realities....it is the most generous expression of Rotarian generosity - a generosity that not only brings benefits but also brings help and cooperation to solve the problems that affect mankind. The Rotary Foundation achieves the best that mankind can possibly achieve."
