Rotary Meeting opened on time at 12:15 by President Laura Camp
who lead us in the pledge of allegiance, thoughtful prayer by Todd Lattig
and an outstanding version of God Bless America which surprised
all by how good it sounded.
Guests for today were welcomed by John Iliff. They were Bob Shankman's
wife Kathie and Cindy Allen visiting from the Branchville Rotary.
Happy $$
John Iliff gave a generous one, many reasons to be happy...#1 because he was back to a meeting, planting and yard work done, two grandchildren born
and a great-great-granddaughter. He and his wife Terry survived Covid and other items
too numerous to list...
Laura Camp was happy she got a flu shot and third Pfizer shot and a visit to her daughter.
