Hello all. Here is your weekly Rotary Reader compiled from copious notes of the meeting captured by a substitute not nearly as fabulous in her writing as Frank, Denise.
We were greeted by Jason Williamson and Jeff Bell. Thank you for the hellos and we’ll take your money now, thank you. I HAVE to mention the breakfast menu because it was delicious and adventurous: meatballs, chili verde, eggs, bacon and hash browns. Oh yummy. Chile verde over hash browns, let’s just mix cultures a bit. Folks were still scooting through the breakfast line when Pres. Jeff rang the bell. Michael Turnipseed did the invocation, Neil Walker guided us through the flag salute and songstress, Carol Smith had us sing “My Country Tis of Thee”. We didn’t sound too morning. Jacque Alexander introduced 2 visiting Rotarians: Jason Cater from Downtown and Sam Hammoudeh from Twilight/Rotaract. We had 2 non-Rotarian visitors. David Perkins introduced special guest Myrna Arias whose sponsor Michele McClure was absent. PE Karen introduced special guest Erik Bautista. Pres. Jeff asked all present to please indicate on the form on the table their intention to attend the All-Club luncheon on Thursday, March 3rd. The All-Club will be our meeting next week, we will NOT be meeting on March 2nd.
"We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled.
The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out." - Ray Bradbury, author and screenwriter
