Volume 78 | Issue 9 / Sept 7, 2022
It was a comfortable September day for our in person meeting this week. 11 members and one quest 1 braved the 80 degree temperatures to feast on a nice spread put on by Roma’s again this week.
Meeting called to order by President Alex at 12:12pm as Neal Cunningham just made the 12:15 start time and went right for the food table.
Once we stopped the assault on the food table….
The Pledge of Allegiance was started by President Alex
The four way test was again started by President Alex
The Invocation was done by Anwar and a it gave us pause to reflect on our good fortunes and to be ever humbled as we look to help others less fortunate .
We preceded to our Lunch offering lead by our only guest Asst DG, Randi Saboski from the Vernon/Rockville Club. Lunch was an assemblage of pizza, salad, and an assortment of sandwiches that were pleasing to the taste and smell.
Once done, we continued our meeting. We serenaded Randi with our welcome song.
Next, we had a caring moment for a Past President John Horne who had surgery recently. Please and well wishes during his recovery.
