If You Missed the Meeting…

Greetings 7:10 Rotarians and Friends,

If you missed the meeting on Wednesday, July 27, 2016, you missed a very informative presentation by Bob Briggs who gave us the whole story behind the Light Rail system in Denver as well as plans to provide rail service throughout the whole state.

President Barbara, absent this week, was presided by President-Elect Mark Harris who brought down the gavel at precisely 7:10:00 a.m. Eric Mott, our Family of Rotary Rotarian, led us in the Pledge. Caitlin presented a very meaningful and thankful invocation President-Elect Mark, being on top of things, then jumped right in and introduced our very efficient Assistant Secretary, Chris Hovendon, who introduced guest speaker, Bob Briggs, and our other guest, John Herrmann.

Joe T. had a Thought for the Day.

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

Yours in Rotary Service, Loren
