Rotary Meeting May 28, 2014
Hi everyone;What a great meeting !!! Although we have several members travelling the world and away this week, we seemed to have a full house and it was as lively as ever. President Elect Alan had a 'trial run' today as President Jon was away. He did a great job and we 'will' keep him !!!
Lots of information given this morning, but most important is that Lucie Honey-Ray and Sonia Kozell were proposed as new members and will be Inducted next week. Both woman are very dynamic and will be a great asset to our Club. Please come to the meeting next week to welcome them to our Club.
