Tuesday, March 19, 2019 @ 6:00 p.m., Grinnell Rotary met for their weekly meal, meeting,
and program. Several guests were present for the special program, along with six Grinnell
High School seniors who were working on the requirements to qualify for a Rotary scholarship.
At the short business meeting, the Rotary Annual Chicken Barbecue date was announced for
2019. June 13, 2019, will be the chicken barbecue date. It was noted that this date is a week
later than most earlier barbecues due to school letting out late this year.
The program for the evening was presented by Rotarian Gerald Adams, and his wife Sara.
They took an 82 day cruise, returning in January 2019. Their first stop was in Alaska and the last
stop was in Hawaii, with many stops in between. Gerry and Sara sailed with Holland America
on their cruise, and along the way, they visited 12 countries, 1 American possession, and 2
states. The trip covered a total of 23,000 miles. The presentation included many photos
depicting the culture, people, and scenery of places such as Russia, Japan, China, Singapore,
Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Australia (to name a few). All present enjoyed the program, and
many took the opportunity to imagine how interesting a trip such as this would be. Thank you
to Gerry and Sara for a very enjoyable program.
