Beautiful day for our weekly meeting at Goodwin College! During casual conversation, we discussed the weather, attendance, UCONN baseball and softball, lunch payment options and bringing up kids (earlier and now). In addition, everyone was sad to hear of the death of Ray Maselek’s father. We all send our condolences to Ray.
Attendees today were Bill, George, Wes, Jim, Guy, Bob, Dan, Jack, Alex and Neal. Two East Hartford Police Officers and the East Hartford Basketball Coach with his daughter, Skylar, were our guests today.
Alex rang the bell to start the meeting at 12:08 and led The Pledge of Allegiance and 4 Way Test. Invocation by Bob included The Golden Rule. For the first time in ages, we sang the Rotary Song to everyone’s delight!
EHRC Donates to Lady Hornets
The East Hartford Basketball team, Lady Hornets, were State Champions this year. The East Hartford Police Department joined them for a fundraiser recently. The Police won by one point but unfortunately, one officer tore his Achilles tendon and will be out nine months. Maureen Rogers was honored for her 50 years of coaching. The Lady Hornets will be running coed Basketball Clinics this summer for three weeks to strengthen skills, develop leadership abilities and build confidence. Weeks are assigned age ranges and start July 11 through the 29th. Cost is $100 per week. More information is available at HTTP://EASTHARTFORDCT.GOV/PARKS-RECREATION. General discussion followed. Of interest one EH player will be attending Seton Hall next year and each player received Championship rings. We also answered questions about Rotary’s various activities both locally and internationally.
