A good turnout for our club on Wednesday as we were greeted by Steve Wescott. Charles opened the meeting with Pledge, Prayer and a tuneful "My Country Tis of Thee.” Steve welcomed our guests Elie Benz, past member of our club and current member of Branchville Club and a Paul Harris Fellow. Also welcome to Joe Inglema, guest of Charles and soon to be member!

Program on the Rotary Foundation by Steve Wescott. He noted that George Morville had done a wonderful job of presenting the information that he will try to do it justice once more. Steve asked how do you do something outside your comfort zone... we are inspired to be a part of helping someone in need through Rotary. Supporting Foundation is comparative to simple raindrops falling and added to others to become something big. The interest from the money collected goes to administration so your full donated amount goes to helping others. You and easily check your giving on our website and click on Foundation to see what you've given.
