President Don called the meeting to order at 6 p.m. The pledge was lead by Larry Saunders with a thoughtful reflection about caring for our veterans. This was followed by an inspirational thought by Charley Crew also on the topic of what is a Veteran. Thank you both gentlemen for your service and to all of the veterans in our club. Jeanne Hawkins introduced the guests. There was no new update from the Family of Rotary other than our esteemed fine master John O’Neill was back and in fining form! Welcome back John!President Don provided one of his ‘Senior Moments’ reflections and this one was on memory lapse and the ‘Star Wars’ defense program from the 80’s.
