Bernadette, Andy, Kati, Cathy, Bruce, Todd & Murray gather outdoors for our first in-person meeting of the year.
Relaxed COVID restrictions allowed members to gather in person for the first time in Rotary year 2020-21 (in Bernadette's backyard).
As it was also the final meeting of President Kati's year, the program consisted of a review of the year's events and accomplishments, as well as recognition of new members and members who had performed exceptional service.
Kati kicked off the program with the long overdue presentation of the Past President plaque to John Luchetti for his service as Club President in 2019-20.
