If You Missed the Meeting…

Greetings 7:10 Rotarians and Friends,

If you missed the meeting on Wednesday, June 8, 2016, you missed a very informative presentation by our friends the Russians from Vladivostok who are being hosted by our club and are here to study environmental issues. Their program today included a very interesting presentation about the city of Vladivostok.

President Mark opened the meeting at 7:20 a.m. John Inman, our Family of Rotary Rotarian, led us in the Pledge. Chris presented a very meaningful and thankful invocation. President Mark, being on top of things, then jumped right in and introduced our very efficient Secretary, Ryan Holocher, who introduced our guests from Open World, Evgenii Kostin, Alexander Myzgin, Aleksandr Miroshnichenko, Anastasiia Bazhenova, Polina Medved, Tatiana Skorodumova and the interpreter Alex Galimov, as well as our RYLA guests: Anna Brady, Laura Brady, Jordan Layton, Susan Layton, Yolanda Ortiz, Hector Ortiz, Daniella Garita, and also our YRYLA guests, Jessica Franson, Charlotte Franson, Sobrina Gomez, Bruce Gomez, Dani Loewe, Ethan Arroyo, Bob Davis and Luca Arroyo. Other guests included Alex Wilson, Paulina Wilson and Karen Moss. Yes, quite a houseful.

President’s Announcements:

Mark reminded us of the Installation Dinner on June 29th. There will be an Evite email sent to members. Please respond so we know how many guest for whom we need to prepare.

John was extolled by President Mark who thanked him for being an important member of the 7:10 Rotary Club and who has shown us the Service Above Self motto. His prolific profile as the Family of Rotary Rotarian can be found on the front page of the Bemis award winning, Frameable, Ineluctable, EarlyWord newsletter which was profusely available on all of the tables in its elegant 11x17" format. It can also be found on the 7:10 web site at: www.westminster710rotary.org/newsletter.cfm.

Joe T. had a Thought for the Day.

We closed the meeting a bit late with a rousing rending of The Four (no, Five) Way Test.

Yours in Rotary Service, Loren
