ROM February, 2013 - Rotary Anns

Three hoops a holler and a couple of cheers,

This worthy bunch has been around 74 years.

Times have changed,

And men and women’s roles have been re-arranged,

But certainly some qualities are constant and persevere,

Even with responsibilities of husband, family and career,

They managed to organize, meet and make sure good works were done,

And leave a little time for fellowship and fun.

And lord knows,

We’ve all had a laugh at their over the top fashion shows. 

Today, there 18 of them or so,

Linda, Ann, Billie, Beverly and Jo,

Betty, Deloris, LaDoyce, Lenora and Jerri,

Gayle, Carol, Louise, Margie and Mary  

Paula, Willien, and Mrs. Brashears who uses G in her Gerri.

Now a call has come saying they are a no longer a group, it’s the end of the game.

But, now they’ll be same folks in a different troop….. a rose by any other name.

If enduring friendships, loyalty and good works are always part of your plans,

Then you are member of our Rotarians of the Month, the Harrisburg Rotary Ann’s.
