Dear Rotarians and Friends,
Last Wednesday turned out as an exceptional day. Thank you to the memnbership committee for setting up this event. A first in our Club
Thank Claudia Reyes, latest addition to the Committee, for this brilliant idea!
Thank you, Gary "Flash" Blum for the memories;
And Thank you, Debbie, for a wonderful introduction to what is Rotary.
I hope that this kind of event will become annual.
And of course, thank you to all the Rotarians who took up the challenge and brought a friend. What a wonderful way to expose our friends to the Gift of Rotary. Several proposals of new members have been received after the meeting and I hope that we will turn many of them into actual new members!
