If You Missed the Meeting…

Greetings 7:10 Rotarians and Friends,

President Barbara opened the meeting at 7:10 a.m. J.P. Moore, our Family of Rotary Rotarian, led us in the Pledge. Tom presented a very meaningful and thankful invocation. President Barbara, being on top of things, then jumped right in and introduced our very efficient Assistant Secretary, Mark Harris, who introduced guest speaker, Sam Adams . and other guests: Alana Bethune, Cassandra Schutt and Barbara Donaldson.

J.P. was extolled by President Barbara 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.

President Barbara presented our next Rotary member who answered the question, Why I’m A Rotarian. Gary Cooper gave a moving talk about what Rotary and Mike Hayes means to him.

Joe T. had a Thought for the Day: there is water in the carburetor, “How do you know?” “’cause the car is in the swimming pool.” You had to be there!

We closed the meeting right on time with a rousing rending of The Four Way Test.

Yours in Rotary Service, Loren
