Beautiful day for our Zoom Meeting! During casual conversation, Ceil announced an extra $20 for hors d’ouevres at our upcoming Installation dinner. Everyone said “forget about it!”. She also announced that South Congregational Church would be holding a Strawberry Festival this weekend. Bob Buettner announced he was calling from Florida.
Attendees for this meeting were Alex, Jim, Deidre, George, Wes, Jason, Bob, Guy, Jack, Ceil, Bill and Neal. No guests this week.
Alex rang the bell to start the meeting at 12 noon and led The Pledge of Allegiance and 4 Way Test. Invocation by George included prayers for us and our Nation.
Our scheduled speaker, Diane Bailey, CT State Director for the Miss Amazing Pageant, could not attend and Deidre filled in for her. She spoke about the Miss Amazing Pageant which was created for girls with disabilities, aged 5 to 35. It was created to build self esteem, confidence and independence. This is held locally and internationally but a local group is raising money for it. For further information, check their website, MissAmazing.org.
