Another good weather day for our Rotary Meeting at Goodwin. Attendees were Sue, Ceil, Dan, Hope, Guy, Charles, Charlie, Peter, Marc, Anwar and Neal. Our guests today were Taylor Bartoski and Betsy Caraballo of Goodwin College. Marc was Treasurer due to George’s absence.
As Rob is on vacation, Sue rang the bell at 12 Noon and called the meeting to order. She led the Pledge of Allegiance and Marc gave the invocation. The message was “All religions are represented in the Rotary family”.
Trivia Winners were Charles and Marc.
Sue attended the EH Farmers Market this week. Few people attended that night but she met and talked with other organizations about common concerns.
Meeting continued with discussion about Club Assemblies. Do we need more?
Don’t forget our August Lunchapalooza. The member who invites the most guests to lunch throughout the month will be crowned the winner and receive a prize.
