Volume 78 | Issue 31 / Mar 1, 2023
After our first snow storm of the season, we met on a beautiful snow-covered winter day at Goodwin University, with 12 members in attendance and 3 members on ZOOM. Two guests, Hope Firestone and Santo Pirado (associate of Alex), also attended the meeting. Alex rang the bell to start the meeting, and led us in the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by the Rotary 4-Way Test. Dan Larson led us in singing a robust “Rotary Song”. We enjoyed a great lunch of either tuna salad or meatball grinders, along with Chicken Francaise and garden salad.
