Meeting Minutes
July 25, 2019
 

Co-presidents Susan and David King brought the meeting to order and led us in reciting the 4 Way Test. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Lou Anna Dickerson.  Immediate past president Mike Fuqua inspired us with his remembrances of the Apollo 11 Moon landing 50 years ago. For example:  Neil Armstrong brought parts of the Wright Flyer with him; US Customs required that the Moon rocks they brought back be declared and 500 million people watched the event.
Our greeter was Don Glover who introduced our guests including two visiting Rotarians:  Mary Stanton of RB Sunrise and D5340 Youth Protection Officer Doug Clements.  Don also acerbically introduced our own Bill Angus as a visiting Rotarian too.  Good to see you, Bill.  Joel Doss was joined by Larry Valente and Jim Hyldahl to lead us with baton in hand in an inspiring rendition of our melodious Welcome Song.
 

Susan thanked our volunteers:  room setup by John Kasser; check-in by Joel Doss and Vern Cook; AV setup by Alan Turner; meeting pictures by James Kaspar; Bill Angus for doing the newsletter; meeting organization by John O’Neill and these words by your humble scribe, Dave Brooks.
