If You Missed the Meeting…

Greetings 7:10 Rotarians and Friends,

If you missed the meeting on Wednesday, August 10, 2016, you missed a very informative presentation by Mike Scott who told us what is happening to Rachel’s Challenge. One challenge is to Look for the Best in Others.” Another is to “Speak with Kindness”.

President Barbara opened the meeting at 7:10 a.m. Martin Postma our Family of Rotary Rotarian led us in the Pledge. Chris presented a very meaningful and thankful invocation. President Barbara, being on top of things, then jumped right in and introduced our very efficient Secretary, Ryan Holocher, who introduced guest speaker, Mike Scott . and other guests: Petra Wilson and Jacque Russell.
