The Rotary Club of
East Hartford

 

High Gear

Volume 78 | Issue 11  / Sept 21, 2022
 
The meeting started off with the usual suspects in the community room first. We were a little alarmed that we had only 2 tables but that was quickly remedied and we had 4 tables for our group.
The Pre-Amble started at 11:45 with meeting starting at 12:15am  
Pledge of Allegiance – started by Prez Alex
4 way test   -  again started by Alex     
Marc Glass gave a heartfelt Invocation to remind us of our blessings and our mission as Rotarians.   
 
Guest of Bob Buettner was announced as Samuel [editor missed his last name].  He is a local pastor that Bob works with at a local food shelter. He’d be a nice addition to the club! 
Lunch served by Roma’s which consisted of 2 pizza pies and 2 grinders with a salad as well. A very nice display. 😊 Our Guest, Samuel went first.
For Happy/Sad news:   Alex reported EHHS sporting season starts this month and asked to see if there is club interest to attend a future game. He vowed to continue to bring this up as he would like to see the club get involved in more local sporting activities.
