 | East Hartford Rotary Club High Gear Volume 79 | Issue 11 / September 27, 2023 |
Perhaps due to the amazing improvement of the weather, there was some confusion at the beginning of our meeting. Clarification for all—this year our meetings begin at Noon.
President Bob began the meeting ringing the bell, leading a recitation of the Four-Way Test.
I missed his impromptu invocation but was able to persuade everyone to listen to a wonderful invocation by Peter Klock, weaving all our Rotary service into his message.
Thanks to Guy LaBella and Roma’s Restaurant, lunch had arrived. Since there were no guests, the group was free to head to the front of the line. Lunch consisted of pizza, grinders, and a mixed-green salad. Thanks to Ceil Collins for helping with setting up each week for our lunches.
Our meeting began again about 12:20 PM.
Bob pointed out the display of two embroideries made for our club by townsfolk in the two communities who were beneficiaries of last year’s global grant.
Caring Moments: Ruth Sheehan is recuperating at home.
Rotary Anniversaries: Bob Buettner 2010, Ceil Collins 1996, Larry Frazier 1967
