RANCHO BERNARDO ROTARY CLUB October 18, 2018 Meeting Minutes
President Doug convened the evening meeting with all reciting the Four Way Test. Frances Blair led the Pledge noting that this might be her last meeting before she and her husband become Texans. Frances was thanked for her years of service to our club. Vern Cook treated us to Dr. Seuss philosophy for his inspiration.
