it's the thought that counts

Appointed to the critical task of opening the meeting with an inspirational, timely, and profound "Thought" that would start Rotarians off on a full day of compelling responsibilities and lift from their mundane world to a pinnacle of compassion and enlightenment -- Mike Kelly, who was to provide this thought, was not present.

President Merle Hayes, always on top of any situation, gave Rotarians a "Thought" in his absence.
