Well the first meeting of the new year got off to a late start because then food was late. But worth the wait. Salad, rolls, pasta and chicken marsala started us off with cake and an assortment of cookies finished the Meal. Alex rang his bell and we kind of sang and then we recited the Four Way Test. Sue Klock had us have a moment of silence for Damar Hamlin and then nice invocation calling for world peace. Due to the late arrival of lunch, Alex did his trivia questions first. Only one right answer out of three questions. Jim Watts knew the answer, unfortunately I don't know the question.
